Progression

At this point the progression of the show is going very well. I'm pleased to report that the editing and processing of the final images is nearing its final chapter. It began with 3000+ images (which I collected in Vietnam while traveling the country twice over, by land, starting in Ho Chi Minh City, the southern capital, and working our [group consisted of my two Uncles, Tang and Tong, cousins Sinh, Hang, and Que, my mom, and I] way to the northern capital of Hanoi and back down to Ho Chi Minh City, in one month's time [the country compares in size to California]), edited those down to approximately 1000 and processed each of those individually, all of which I have uploaded to my image library at 3rdBound. From there, I have selected the strongest 120 images and will decide which of those will be included in the final series of 18, which I will begin to sell in limited editions of 25 each, signed and numbered, come show-time.

Met with Tom Parsons yesterday concerning the t-shirt design for the show, he has done some great work for Bele Chere, Brew Grass Festival and the like for Asheville. He was definitely on the right track and I can hardly wait to see his final design.

You should start seeing posters up, postcards passed around, and listings in our local weeklies. Tickets, which include entry, Vietnamese cuisine, beer, sake, and an all-around cultural experience of Vietnam, are limited, I implore you to order them soon or go to Artemisia Gallery, BoBo Gallery, or Harvest Records to pick yours up today!
