So, guess who forgot the digital camera and European power adapter for the laptop? Because of the strikes, Paris was more of a crazy adventure than in the past. Nearly missed planes and trains, more walking than I've ever done in my life, long bus lines, shared cabs, and mountain biking with an 8x10 camera . . . this actually might be the most memorable year yet.

The fair, however, was something of a let down. I swear if I see another oversized color print I am going to puke. Luckily, I could take refuge in the few gallery booths showing some excellent 19th century work. One print, a gravure on silk , stood out the most, but there were several others worth posting in more detail when I have the chance.
