Items of Value

Good morning, Mel Curtis. Today I am spending a second day appraising recent gifts to the Obamas. My data sheet #7709 pertains to a photo you took apparently on 30 April 1996 and titled "Dinner at the White House". I remember liking the haziness of it -- almost French impressionistic. Would you please inform me a probable retail value of…

4 October 2012 Parting Thoughts on Barcelona

Barcelona is simply an amazing city, a combination of very old and very new and nicely co existing. It is the most accessible city in Europe I have ever visited. The needs of the elderly and disabled are looked after with barrier free architecture. Bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists actually get along and are civil to one another. The streets are…

After the Flood

Re: Blast from the Past

Richard, I guess news travels fast. It would be great to see you if you can make it. I plan to wear my Widelux around my neck as a bit of a homage to John. I can’t recall when I last saw John, but it was after I had closed my darkroom in 2006 and before I handed off my…

A Perfect Moment

As an artist using a camera, I make lots of images of all kinds of things, of people and places. Most often it is later that I look at a photograph I have made and realize what a special moment that was, and that I didn't realize it at the time. On this morning I did. It was Sunday the…
