Why no posts? I'm afraid I've been working at an insane pace, with continued unreliable electricity and internet. No too surprisingly, these can be helpful when one has much to accomplish. No email interruptions, etc.
My exhibition at the art museum is going on now. It has been met with some wonderfully positive responses and a few loud complaints. I remind myself that contemporary art should make you think. You don't have to like it.
I am thrilled, though, that some viewers are enjoying the spectacle. I sit for hours outside the building - the prints are on the outside of the museum - and enjoy watching the surprised faces reacting to the work.
I would give anything to have all of you back in the US here to see it.

Note: We are having a record-breaking storm as I write now. I can't guarantee any of the prints will be intact in the morning. I hope so, but can't be sure. It's quite something out there!

Soooo glad to see your post and to get a sense of the project. It looks absolutely wonderful. Wish I was there to see it in person. Only problem with this whole thing is I MISS YOU!!!! When are you back? We have a big bunch 'o birthdays to celebrate, you know. XOXOXO
Whoa! When you said BIG photos, you MEANT it! I love the photograph of the photographer taking a photograph of your photograph. I also love the photogram that the photographer is photographing. And yes, I am a little dizzy just typing all that. :-)
Love you!

This is truly amazing -- so wish I could get on a plane and see it in person -- not to mention seeing you. Any plans to return to this part of the world? Hope you are well.
