My studio is too small to put this up on my wall, beside it being concrete, so I laid it out on the floor of my lecture room at the Univ. (since it was relatively clean compared to other available floors). This gives a rough idea of how the whole piece will look once installed. The approx. dimensions: 124 x 84 in. (variable)


[images changed 16 June,2004]

Again, I was in the darkroom today this time printing images of myself and family from the 1950s. Too bad the negs got ruined by water damage. The pics were around 1952 before my sister was born. I sure was cute then. *wink* I printed a pic of my aunt pregnant with her youngest daughter. I never saw my mother pregnant. She sent me away to my grandmother in Cincy. I guess I was a trouble maker. Most of all, I said today that I’m thankful for having such a full, rich life. Many of the people in the negs around my age are still living.

Postscript: Before I left the Univ. today I used the pool. I’ve never been a good swimmer even though I know how to swim but, today I wore myself out in about 30 min. I was REALLY trying to focus on coordination of stroking, breathing, and kicking. My lungs had me gasping for breath several times. My breathing was all wrong. I was mostly focused on not kicking in a way that bothered my knee or foot. I’m happy about it all. I should go back. There were some good looking guys arriving just as I was leaving. However, I do remember I work there!
