**Hello Friends,**
Marci and I are back from vacation. It was an exciting trip. We went to New York, then Iceland, then Paris. There were good days and bad days. I got sick, Marci got sick, but all in all we had a great time. Iceland was beautiful, but very windy. At one point we were holding on to each other, bent over walking forcefully into the wind to the building. If I revisit it would be in better weather, and I would rent a car and driver, and be driven around the country.
Paris, too was a first for me. Unlike the past according to Marci, the people were friendly and cordial to us. Still even in February it was packed with tourists, and we were two of them. The highlights for me were museums and the food, and a couple of shops we went to. My take away was the pride people took in their displays of everything. The store layouts and windows, for example, were beautiful. The food on the plate was photographable. Outside of my photographs, that attention to detail I wish would rub off on me.
**Lucille Series Portfolio**
I mentioned last month that I am making a special edition portfolio of the Lucille Series. Jace Graf of Cloverleaf Studios in Austin and I met last week and came up with a plan of what it will look like. When it is complete I will send out a special email to take orders. I posted all the images in the portfolio in last months email, but I forgot this one. Go to my website or last month's email to see the complete series.
**Archive Appraisal**
I mentioned last month that I was having my archive appraised, and it is complete. If you are interested in acquiring or learning more about this, please email me, and I will set up a time to talk to you about it. It is all very exciting.
I made four new images from my archive. The banner image and these three.
