[Leica] You, Me & Henri C B...

[csemetko at gmail.com (Craig Semetko)]

Thank You Ted! That is one helluva nice thing to say. And coming from  
you, it means a great deal. Seriously. Believe me, I am aware of my  
extraordinary good fortune in having this exhibition. Some serious  
alignment of stars took place or something or other to make this  
happen. I'm a lucky guy who's filled with gratitude.

And you can bet I will be getting quite a visual record. This opening  
coincides with the gallery opening a new space on Main Street---I'm  
told there's going to be a ribbon cutting ceremony, a heralding  
trumpet, and--I kid you not---belly dancers. Which is perfect for me;)  
This should be quite a visual cornucopia...

Thanks again for the great good wishes, they really mean a lot.

Cheers,

Craig
