Donald P. Carstens

I first met Don, in the mid 1970's. We occupied studios on the same street for a short time. I did not get to know him well, but I observed that he was a man of few words, and he had a keen eye. In his best photographs, he played games with perception. In one, an artist is floating feet first toward the ceiling, as he holds onto his drawing table. I admired his work, and I am very sorry to hear of his death. Rest in peace Don, and may you go with God. H Davis

a really true friend and a great fishing buddy. I miss our days fishing at the Big Mac Daniel pool on the margaree river

I introduced Don to fly fishing in Michigan in the 80's . Don being Don took his new obsession to the highest and most noble extent in his casting and fly tying taking these arts to higher creative grounds. One of the best casters on the Margaree. My strong suit was handicapping the standard breds on Wed. night and Sunday at inverness. Don and I had a falling out later in his life he chose not to reconnect. I hope he finds peace in his next existence.

Don, I'm sitting here sipping tea from a delicate purple tea cup and saucer set. It was yours. We never met, but through Joe, you always felt like family to me - to us. Joe always had a special place in his heart reserved just for you, even when you both wanted to wring each others' necks!
I felt a deep loss when we woke and learned you had moved on to wherever it is that awaits us in the great beyond. I am grateful for your presence in our lives and for the life lessons that I'm sure...
