I did so in early January, if I remember correctly, but I would like to add
something else, and that >is that the LUG is an unforgettable meeting place
for me. Thanks to the LUG and, of course, Brian, I have had the pleasure of
making many great new friends, many of whom >have come to Barcelona, while
others I have met in Chicago. I just want to say that I hope this
continuity is maintained.

share. For the second time (which is quite extraordinary), the Department
of Culture of the >Government of Catalonia has purchased part of my
photographic collection for the Museums of Sitges. There have been 41
silver gelatin prints, and in addition, in April I will >be exhibiting 32
silver gelatin prints, all made by me in my darkroom, under the title
?Memories? (of Barcelona). I have taken few new photographs and I want to
continue >working on my photographic archive in my darkroom. I hope to
return soon to share my work with you. Thank you for your friendship and
understanding.
