[alt-photo] Re: Tilt Gallery exhibit

[Diana Bloomfield]

Thanks again, Francesco.  I did visit out there a couple of years  
ago.  I really enjoyed getting the chance to meet Melanie, Michelle,  
and Sabine and seeing the gallery.  I do think they do a terrific  
job.  I  happened to be out West anyway that year, and so we rented a  
car and drove all around.  I managed to make it for the opening of  
their juried show that year.  I had never been to Arizona before and  
was so impressed with the landscape, which is so vastly different from  
where I live.  I thought it was really spectacular-- and just so  
foreign to anything I'd ever seen before-- (and, yes, so so hot!).   
But I loved photographing out there.  Some parts of the landscape  
seemed almost other-worldly to me-- amazing, really.  Living on the  
East Coast, where everything seems so crowded and jam-packed-- we (I)  
forget how much land and sky and horizon is really out there.  I can  
see why you'd find it inspirational.

But, yes, I'll let you know if I get out there.  Hopefully, that will  
be soon.
