FYI. Combined show of Adams and Butcher, two great LF landscape photographers and conservationists, opens today at the RINGLING Museum in Sarasota, FL. Through April 10. Open 7 days, free entry on Mondays.

Also FYI, Ansel Adams and I currently have a two-person show in my bathroom. It should be noted that the exhibition's curator selected more of my work than Adams', (though this *may* have been for purely budgetary reasons...)

All-in-all an excellent show. I've been back to see it several times.

Mark,

Is that the famous "La Maison de la Toilet" venue? Love the space and the fragrance too.

Yes, Kirk, it's a lovely, quiet space. Intimate and comfortable. I could sit there for hours contemplating the art of photography. I think I'll go back soon...

I'm guessing both Clyde and Ansel would attend on Monday. Wish I could go!

You guys just visiting from the Leica Forum?

Yes, Bill. This is an invasion from the Leica Forum. We're here to destroy this forum, thread by thread. I think you'll agree, we pretty much killed this one...

Well, it wasn't much of a thread to start with, anyhow.

When I visited my girlfriend at Ringling School of Art in 1973, She took me to the Museum. I was very impressed with their collection. Wish I could see this one.

RINGLING Musem? Wasn't that P.T. Barunum's outfit? You all know what he said.
