Going to have to pick up that Aperture issue! I'm definitely planning on catching the exhibit as well.
So, the story of how we know Andrew ... Eva & I run a photo group called the Click Collective, as most of you know. It's a small group of about 20 members who get together to share work, critique, go on group shoots, hold gallery shows, etc. Two of the members are our German friends Dan & Silke Seybold, also occasionally seen here on APUG.
Through Dan & Silke, we are friends with Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre, two french photographers shooting 4x5 color work of abandoned buildings, for galleries in Paris. Their website We've toured them around Detroit a few times on day shoots ourselves.
Yves & Romain are friends with Andrew Moore through the shooting of abandoned buildings - Andrew contacted them after seeing their work published. Yves & Romain put Andrew in touch with Dan & Silke, who became fast friends.
Now, whenever any of them come to Detroit, Dan, Silke, Eva or I tour them around the ruins of Detroit. The last few times Andrew came, he stayed with Dan & Silke for the week. When he was in town over the summer, he was kind enough to critique the Dreams show The Click Collective was in the process of putting up at the BBAC.
Andrew's a nice guy and a talented photographer. He knows his way around a darkroom, and still shoots film - 4x5 & 8x10 color mostly.
Is that all clear as mud?
To summarize - acquaintance through mutual friends. I guess I should have said that to begin with.
As of today I'm planning on making the Photorama show on Sun, Dec. 6th in Richfield. I expect to be there in time for the 10 am opening time, and would be happy to hang out with other folks for lunch, perhaps a gallery show, or whatever.

Great weekend in NE OH APUG. Bethe stayed with Dolly and me Saturday showing pictures and a little bump that she promises will be a baby boy in early February. We went to the Richfield photo swap meet and celebrated birthday boy Lee Lumpkins event a day late. Dale Marsh was there haggling with the vendors. Bethe was in lust with a wide lens, but didnt take it home. I found some books I liked and will be reading over Christmas. Peter said he would join us, but we missed him. The four of us had lunch down the road, told tall stories, encountered an eavesdropping waitress who thought film must be a lot more fun than digital based on how we were enjoying it. Wish more of you had come, but those that did had fun.

What have you all been up to this winter? QUOTE]
My teacher (not quite half my age) said she doesn’t want to hear about cold, wet, clouds, snow and ice. I have been out shooting 8x10 with a theme of religious buildings in transition. I will be printing 16x20 for my class. Assuming I survive, that will mean 10 new images every other week, an over matted series of at least twenty images by the first week of May and a paper on Atget. Last term’s required five page paper on Walker Evans came out 17 pages. Lots of work ahead.
I am frightened to think how difficult the monkey on my back will make it when I retire from retirement.

That little bump we saw on Bethe in December should arrive as a beautiful baby boy just about now. Prayers for safe delivery and arrival.

Should be soon!Thanks for the prayers - I think I'll need those as well as drugs.
