Paula Marriner is in the darkroom with Dana right now working on chemigrams
on Centenial POP paper.
She is an amazing and interesting person who came all the way from New
Zealand on her own hook. I am gradually learning a bit about Maori
traditions and as her husband is Maori and she lives in the Maori culture.
The other day she was outside my window on the patio and singing words that
I didn't understand to the tune of "Rum and Coca Cola." I found out the
melody was stolen from a Maori folk song.
Alt photography is truly "international."
