I just came back from seeing Joe Blum's superb exhibition of photos
which include two self-portraits of himself, donned in safety gear, at
work. Last week, I ran into Joe, who I have also known since the 60s,
and he reminded me about the exhibition. He was excited at the time
because he had just been told he could go back up on a large building
project downtown with his camera. Hopefully, some of the unions will
provide money to give the exhibition some feet to travel. A refreshing
alternative to our surround dot.com cellphonemania.
