OK. So we have just spent 16 months in a lockdown due to the COVID pandemic. Those of us who cherish their lives and health took this period seriously. Restricting social activities and gatherings, wearing masks and primarily staying home. For us, staying home began with moving our home base. At this same time, Gail and I decided to sell our house, and most of our possessions, pare down our 30 years of professional records and resources (this meant throwing out tons of paper, after reviewing each piece, photographing important items and tossing the rest) and packing things up and sending them to our future home in Belize.

My last post was a year and a half ago! and the years roll by.
Since mid-2016, we've continued to be primarily focused on the Cyclorama project (Project C) with it's 10-sided space at the front door of Zoo Atlanta.
