D. > B.D., Well I have to say that I am feeling pretty inspired lately by Alfie and how he has elevated himself to God-like status. He is definitely a model for all of the struggling photographers/artists out here practicing our craft and our art. Just last weekend I decided, using Alfie as a role model, to rid myself of my deep depression and start a new project which I am calling *PostCards From A Refraction* (PCFAR). It will be an intimate monograph of my struggles to emulate my hero Robert Doisneau which will then morph into the modern day portrayal of Ralph Gibson's hands. I fully expect this entire monumental project will take me an entire month and every waking moment will be devoted to this revealing memoir of an aging hippie and his quest to understand the depths of the human frailties. I have no doubt that this work will receive international acclaim and become a bench mark for all to follow in practicing their art and craft. sl > > For sale: > > 1) Postcards of an Existentialist Halftone Book/Catalogue (107 pages, 8.5 by > > 11)... $25 plus $10 SH. > > 2) Complete self-printed and autographed set of all 96 prints in Itoya > binder > Epson Archival Matte Paper... $150 plus $20 SHI > Hahnemuhle Photo Matte Paper... $300 plus $20 SHI > Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 188... $500 plus $20 SHI > Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308... $600 plus $20 SHI > If interested in other papers, please contact at leica_phile@hotmail.com. > > 3) Single unmatted print > Epson Archival Matte Paper... $10 plus $5 SHI > Hahnemuhle Photo Matte Paper... $20 plus $5 SHI > Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 188... $40 plus $5 SHI > Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308... $50 plus $5 SHI > > 4) Postcards of an Existentialist CD-ROM... $.50 plus $4 SH > > For more information or to order please contact Albert Wang at > leica_phile@hotmail.com accordingly.
