I got there at 8pm and there were only a handful of people so it was easy to get around and see Angela's photographs. We stayed until after 10. I have seen Angela's photographs as test prints, in the darkroom and pinned to the dining room wall, many times before, but I have never seen them all together as an exhibit. To me (and my family) it was stunning! The method of exhibition, mounting on thin aluminum and held away from the wall via a small and invisible wood frame behind the mounted photo, was incredibly great. 20x24's & 30x40's were straight and flat and looked like they were floating away from the wall. There were a few smaller prints here and there as well as a large pseudo panoramic of a housing project (a typical living in Silicon Valley scene) that were equally as stunning. Those LUGgers, LEGgers, and HUGgers that I saw there were (please excuse any spelling inconsistencies): Mike Kirwan, Joe Codespoti, Karen Schreiber, Byron Rakitzis, Steve Caspersen, Dan & Jillian Simms, Jane Ewers, and I know I missed some names. I apologize for my old, CRS, brain. Except for the DJ being not quite fitted to the occasion (my opinion, probably not others,) the whole thing was a rousing success! The new house that housed the exhibit seemed perfect for the occasion. And I personally think it should be left as a gallery. I wouldn't want to live there but as a gallery, it was magnificent. :) I hope you all got to personally meet Angela and I hope that you will air your comments about Angela and her work. Good or bad. She wants feedback. Thanks, :) Jim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
