Turtle Bayou Texas
Back again. Been running interstate since dropping Heather off, yesterday, in Portales New Mexico at her Grand Parents home for Christmas. Made it just west of Fort Worth last night so today I got to run through Fort Worth, Dallas and Huston! At one point I jumped off and drove the frontage road between Dallas and Huston, for a while just to go 40 mph and gain some much lost sanity. Why we need to go so fast and see so little.
Picked up the 16×20 prints for V.R. in Huston from my friend, dealer, framer, Joan. As usual great work! I am looking forward to seeing VR for coffee tomorrow morning and giving them to him. He still has yet to see the two 40 x 50 inch prints that are going to the Long Horn Museum east of Huston Texas. Jerry, her significant other made the 40 x 50 prints and they are superb! Really enjoy the images that big and hope to do a few from the “Wrong Turn” series that large. Lots if itty-bitty 4×5 images and lots of big 40×50 inch images.
This feels very “anti-trip” having to rush through southwest Texas and Louisiana not getting to see the Newman’s or Sister Reddie, but the family and Christmas calls from Connecticut and I’ve only a few days to get there. If you all are reading this I apology for not getting to stop by and say hi. Sometimes the destination becomes more important than the trip or so it seems……
