COUCH COUNT CONTINUES

Couches are coming along slowly these winter days, but the count did go up by a couple. And the creep to fifty continues at a heck of a slow pace! I think I have figured out why too: The folks at the City of Denton trash pickup are getting on IT! I passed by a couch this morning, and a couple of hours later – GONE. There is also the sun to contend with – lack thereof, and sun angle in winter. I so look forward to the winter solstice – December 21st. From there, the days get longer although it takes awhile for them to get warmer.

THE RAFFAELLI ARCHIVES

The Raffaelli Archives are starting to gather some momentum as well. I was able to get a new lab on line to help with our Consumer Prints. They are what I call GEN1 prints, and a new printer should arrive soon — in order to create the GEN1 Gallery Print Series. Working on Ron Raffaelli’s legendary images is such a privilege, and every folder of scans I open, is like opening a vault every time. I have a hard time keeping my enthusiasm in check on this project, but there is a lot of business that goes with such an undertaking.

EPSON ARCHIVAL PRINTING

The high-end versions will be rendered using a brand new Epson Ink Jet printer. I have a lot of experience with fine printing, and am excited to get back in to the high end print spectrum with a state of the art printer and images that aren’t even mine!
