☀Brother Sun☀

A photographic appreciation by Dennis Stock (American photographer, 1928-2010)

Dennis Stock discovered the sun as the central graphic element of his own life while on an 

assignment in the golden hills of Umbria, Italy. He was there to photograph the landscapes 

that had become so central to the philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi. Inspired by his 

experience and by St. Francis' own record of gratitude for his celestial "brother", Stock 

set out to begin one of the major works of his career: a photographic appreciation 

of the sun, "Brother Sun".
