Very Sad News
If you ever meet her, Alison touched you 🙂
a very BRIGHT LITE
ZUMA Press well known Photographer and 25+ year dear, good friend of mine: ALISON WRIGHT, is in a coma 😦
Doctors have declared no future for her.
Her brother is flying to Azores.
Avid scuba diver, Alison was scuba diving in Azores and a complication due to COVID, caused a heart attack while diving.
Causing her to go into a coma 😦
Regular at NGS (National Geographic Society) annual summit, as a prolific Nat Geo contributor.
Scores of books from her endless global travels and adventures.
Others might meet her at Palm Beach Photographic Centre’s annual: FotoFUSION, invited her a few times. Alison also had images in FotoVISION and brilliant zReportage.com stories:


Alison gave perhaps THE best ever lecture about her personal story, her near death experience in a bus accident in Asia over a decade ago, which became a best selling book: Learning to Breathe.
Alison, I know is a Force of NATURE!
Hoping her force is strong enough to overcome yet another major hurdle…
Lighting a candle tonite and please do what ever you do…
If you are in Azores flowers at hostipal.
My thoughts and all at ZUMA, are with her and hoping for another miracle for an amazing woman…
