Great!!! Dinner and booze afterwards?
what’s up on this front? i might not be able to make it for the talk, but i like dinner (and booze).
If you guys are coming to New Haven….what day do you think it would be?
How was this. I absolutely love Robert Adams. His prints are so bright, like looking at the desert.
Bradley - how is your weekend?
Austin - the panel discussion was pretty interesting. Mark Klett seemed like a very interesting guy - smart - even though I wasn’t all that impressed with his work. There was also a landscape architect who spoke who spoke a bit about urban planning (I thought of Carrie) and made his presentation essentially into an environmentally-friendly advertisement for his firm.
JK
