PREMIER

On October 16th, I wowed the crowd with a slideshow presentation at Aperture Foundation (a la Apple's Keynote). Chip started the evening by reading the foreword he wrote for my book. The best part, however, was the dialogue about our book cover (1) (2) (3) and Zoetrope All-Story collaborations. This was followed by a question and answer session that was, at times, hilarious. I was on my best behavior until Chip "opened the door" and loosed my wry sense of humor. A book signing was a perfect end to the evening and I signed so many that the fumes from my paint pen had me pretty loopy by the time it was over.


A big hug to everyone at Aperture and to all the fans, family (my wife - El, daughter - Miren and Aunt Patsy and Uncle David Oser) and friends (Eileen Fisher, Nicole Gagnon, Irene Gallo, Tim Briner and, last (but not least) Stewart Williams who came to listen to me mutter. Without all of you, I'm nothing. And let's not forget Thom Barry and Michael Foley.
