It
is not always easy to meet the pipe carver behind the wizardry he wields. Oftentimes
this artisan and his enthusiasts are separated by thousands of miles of
distance and vast gulfs of water. Sometimes there are language barriers
that are very difficult to bridge, if not impossible. Luckily, we all speak one language
here,
and that language is the
pipe.
Images are ideal in an age were technology is able to bridge this gap
and portray the many-worded dialogue of the pipe carver in his daily
life.
That is why we have chosen to include photos of Joao Reis individually
and working on his vaunted briar creations. We hope that you enjoy them
and we will continue to add more to the album in the future as new
images become
available.
