When I saw your exhibit today, I was so pleased. It was simple and beautiful; everything I knew it would be. All the images, taken through non-silver methods and digital, were just what I would expect from you. My favorite is the calotype image of the leaves all gathered that was made larger through digital means. The fibers from the handmade paper original were relevant in the image and made it seem as if made from a large sheet of it. As a paper enthusiast, it made it difficult to not want to touch it, even though I really knew its composition. If I only had $275.oo, it would be up in my living room in a heart beat. Soon you will figure out where you will be, as your school days will finally be done. I wish you the best of luck, as you have been a very good friend and mentor of sorts. I am thankful to know you.
