I sold out just when I needed to. I’m writing a series of memoirs now on my creative life. Growing Up In New England is one, my memoir of a year in Vietnam with the Navy’s Seabees is what I’m working on now.
I enjoyed reading of your deferent discovers about “seeing,” and the images you found and captured. Keep getting out of the office and looking around. The light is great!
