It was my pleasure Kirk. I trust you found your students....or they found you?

I had to call them and they came back to get me. Thanks again Richard we enjoyed it.

No one in the Chicago area should miss this show!

It looks like a great show. I'll try my best to get down there.

I thought some of you might like to know that this exhibit has been extended (again) until at least the end of September.

I was in Chicago on business the last few days and made a point to stop by and see this. Great work Richard!, really nice show there in the lobby of the tower.

I noticed a few of the photos get direct sun during certain parts of the day. You worried about that? are they framed in UV-resistant glass? Just curious.

Thanks Brian, I'm delighted you enjoyed my exhibit.

I consider these exhibition prints. Although I processed them the same as all my prints, properly fixed, washed, toned, etc., they are subject to more possible abuse than most. I framed them with plain acrylic glazing, for its light-weight and reduced breakability compared to glass. Ever price 40+ pieces of 24x28 UV-resistant glass or acrylic? It was not in my budget! These have been in 2 other public venues before Willis Tower, and I expect they will be shown elsewhere too. Between moving them, putting them up and taking them down, and simply being out in public, I think a bit of sunlight is one of my least worries. Good question, thanks for asking!
