Michael, I have been really hiding out and your hiatus reminds me of 4x5 stuff. Let me know if you ever have time to do those negatives. And THANKS for all you have done!!

The sole reason is that I must devote myself to a sudden and serious family illness. James Culbertson and I have met and charted out some upcoming POV agendas. I would really like one or two of you to step up and help James make things happen. POV is very much worth it: we learn useful methods, exhibit wonderful art, go out to vivid places to make photographs, and occasionally throw some damn fine parties. I'm not going away, so I'll spare everyone a farewell. Expect my contributions to discussion threads, and maybe a few image posts now and then for my own mental health at least. Your personal emails and phone calls are most welcome. See you around. ME Cordially, Michael Elenko 206-226-3315
