Some time ago you put to my attention a Dutch architect, performing in a Louisville Festival. Now our Municipal Museum is showing a retrospective of an American photographer, Gregory Crewdson,who does really very special things.I went to see it this afternoon and was very impressed.
Like a compressed image/memory of America, but more than just photo's.

My question is the same as yours then. Do you know him?
It's fascinating work, disturbing as well as beautiful. Might give it a look? The link is long and if that gives any technical trouble I will delete it. But maybe it's just allright.

No, I don't recognize the name, sorry. (No surprise there.) And I couldn't get the site to actually open.

Hmm...just curious, but tell me Jackie, how does a site actually open? Either it opens or it doesn't, don't you think?

Actually, I'm just spoofing the vogue over use of the word "actually'.

"Actually" is (mis)used very much like "literally".
It really, totally, like, irritates me; ya'know?

As inappropriate, superfluous apostrophes irritate me.

G'day Anna, Yes indeed, i'm the one and the same. It's been a long, long time between visits from me in here but it's nice to see some familiar faces are still around and as prolific as posters as ever.
