Re: 2006 Traveling Portfolio

Thanks for posting these, Jeffrey.

I found it interesting that my favorite images are Grace Taylor's  
Ordinary Places, Ordinary Things series in Van Dyke, since my  
favorite image from the last portfolio I remember looking at was also  
Grace Taylor's, from her Rodeo series, a wonderful portrait of a pair  
of well-used cowboy boots in service, which I still remember  
vividly.   So just want to say publicly,  Grace, I love your work!   
In its obvious attention to and respect for nuances of light, it puts  
me in mind of Lilo Raymond, probably my favorite photographer of all  
time.


I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading the notes from  
people working with gum in an experimental mode (Suzanne Izzo),   
working with gum for the first time (Diana Bloomfield -- impressive  
work,  by the way)  or using gum in interesting and innovative ways  
to achieve desired effects (Marek Matusz--I especially appreciated  
the detailed notes on process).  Thanks everyone, for sharing,

Katharine Thayer
