What I am reading and researching and seeing

So back from NYC and Paris fashion week.   The work was tough, long hours behind a camera watching for images to unfold.   I produced additions to 4 ongoing portfolios that have been in the making for one year.   While in NYC went to the Callhan show at PACE, In Paris went to Pompidou, and Musee dOrsay.  The S Salgado opening of his current work Genesis was at the European House of Photography.   I was invited to look at the  Taschen Publication,  Large book 3x2 feet at the Paris Cultural center for the Arts the book sells for $10,000, I passed. Went to Magnum office to say hi.
