Hello Gary,

	Congratulations on having your work hanging with such esteemed company and
on the sales as well - it could be a long while before you surface from the
darkroom filling that Holiday Inn order.  I am overdue some darkroom time
myself as I packed up my darkroom in Nepal before I had caught up with last
years shooting and now there is work from this summer to do as well.  I
managed to talk a couple of galleries in Canada to represent me so now I
have to get the prints over to them as soon as I can.  This could interfere
with my usually free schedule.  Most of my work this summer was 35mm with a
large number of 4x5 sheets used up as well.  Again, congratulations.

Ian Stanley,

Bangkok, Thailand.
