 Huh! I think we can officially lift quarantine off our house. I felt like painting a big white X on the door and hoped that the mob does not run us out of town. Anyways, here we all are, more or less healthy. The exhibit opening was great fun. Quite a few people showed up and I even sold some prints (which is the point of the whole thing, as a friend keeps reminding me). Thank you all who showed up and those who wanted, but were prevented by any reason whatsoever. Provincial paper ran a travel piece on Bosnia in their weekend magazine. Tearsheets are on the ‘official’ site and so is the story. Toronto Star ran another piece on Bosnia, about the craftsmen working in the Old Turkish Quarter in Sarajevo. The story is here. I don’t have the tearsheets, unfortunately. Your best bet to see some of the photos from Bosnia is probably on the blog in Bosnia gallery. Few other interesting projects on the go… Thanks to Alec Soth’s fantastic blog you, too, can play with this particular piece of internet ephemera. I have been reading the most interesting mix of stuff that includes Alan Ayckbourn’s The Crafty Art of Playmaking (quite possibly one of the best books on writing out there), Comic potential (his science fiction play), Italo Calvino’s Marcovaldo (a delicious Italian fare of infinite gentleness and deep understanding of human nature), and William Gibson’s Idoru ( an excellent sample of cyberpunk that provides an interesting evil twin to Ayckbourn’s Comic Potential). I am planning to start Troubles by J.G. Farrell over the weekend. I do recognize that the reason I am doing all this reading is because I am in John Loomis’s Stage 1 of portfolio building. Yep, deep in denial stage and nothing helps me stay there better than good literature. The heap on the bed is my daughter at her most miserable. She is her super chatty self again. | |
