*** Susan's Personal Favorites***
Jesse Chehak/Photographs
Portraits * Landscapes * Commissions * Still Life/Beauty * Brooklyn
Patriarchs * Roadwork * Twos and Threes
"...The combination of Chehak's compassionate eye, maudlin spirit, and humble focus sways him from the obvious. No grit, no guts, he much prefers clarity. He gets strangers to say "yes," and then awards them grace..."

Killing the Buddha is a religion magazine for people made anxious by churches, people embarrassed to be caught in the "spirituality" section of a bookstore, people both hostile and drawn to talk of God. It is for people who somehow want to be religious, who want to know what it means to know the divine, but for good reasons are not and do not. If the religious have come to own religious discourse it is because they alone have had places where religious language could be spoken and understood. Now there is a forum for the supposedly non-religious to think and talk about what religion is, is not and might be. Killing the Buddha is it.
