Dear friends
First off, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving if you happen to live in that part of the world where they celebrate that. We were in Northern Florida where I had a great conversation with a wonderful rather high end contemporary art gallery who is genuinely interested in my work. I overheard them talking about it while they didn’t know I was there. They sounded excited! Will keep you posted on this one.

While setting up for this image below in the Everglades, I saw this police car stopping about 30 feet away. A park ranger got out and the first thing she said was that I was not in trouble or anything (!). She drove by, saw my camera, and turned around. She thought it was interesting and she wanted to know more about it. Made my day!! I did ask her if she was sure because I love taking about it and once I start, I have a hard time shutting up! She was sure and after 20 minutes or so I made a new friend. Her name is Annie.
