Counting the days

So many images. It's hard to know where to start. I like this. I've got some nice ones from Catherine too. of the neon. I'll put some up soon. haha. it's all looking great. I hope I can do the work justice with MY photos. (lessons from Jade are helping, but not quick enough). I hope to have a slide show of lots of images running over the weekend. Mabye in the Long Now Cafe.. so if you happen to have lots (as Jade and Catherine do.. (Jade has given me hers already) it would be good to get them on CD or flash drive to add to the mix.

IMPORTANT ! Kate Shone has come up with a nice idea for a photographic installation - which means everyone needs to get shot .. in front of Slim's work, wearing Slim's hat. Getz and I will take the snaps. Kate has gathered the picture frames (in an extraordinary display of inspired op shopping.) YOU need to be photographed. Please make a point of grabbing me or getz to take the shot or you will be left out.. and then it just won't be the same.

JUST AS IMPORTANT! I need words. anything up to 200 words I guess. by the weekend please!.

MORE TO COME. I have nearly finished the programme of whats on. who's what and where. I should have that to you all by tomorrow. so look out for that! hope you can make it to all the relevant things.
