SMOOTH HOTEL SHOW – opening night
What a great night – the models were beautiful, the music was smooth,
the Belinis were delicious, and the Tater Tots were to die for!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG
The house where I grew up in Alaska, perilously close to the evil empire of Putin
Actually, I’m setting up this blog to tell you the little stories behind my photographic adventures, and I’m sure I’ll have lots to tell in the upcoming months – after I figure out how to work it!
But in the meantime, a Czech guy named Rick recently sent me this note. Aside from being funny, it’s so appropriate to the times that I can’t resist sharing it:
Dear Barbara,
What a surprise I got when I was googling to find ways to spell the name Barbara and there you were right at the top of the list. Ironically Barbara Bush came second. Love the work and may even buy a book or two, though living in the former Eastern Bloc money is tight, though thankfully that moron Bush has so screwed your economy it makes dollar based goods pretty cheap for us now.
I hope you will beat down the CDA [he didn't realize we had already lost it], it seems so typically US to have cutting edge photographers like yourself and then crazy bible belt folk believing the Bible so literally. Something we Europeans will probably never understand. Why you managed to get rid of your 42nd pres because he spilt some spunk on a young girl’s dress, here in the Czech Republic the President has openly admitted to having a girlfirend and a Lovechild!!!! and no one really cares that much.
In fact so much so that the prime minister went and did the same thing to boost his popularity ratings.
Anyway all the best and sorry about the spelling. [I corrected the spelling]
Rick
