So I came back from the 2009 Florence Biennale, rolling into to Sky Harbor shortly after midnight December 16 sicker ‘n a dog. I spent the holidays watching Christmas shows, box of tissue in hand, my IQ hovering between PB&J and potted plant. Needless to say working on putting my pictures together in a photo album on line with a travelogue was the furthest thing from my mind. The holidays ended officially for me on January 9 when my last house guest left. I had a lot to catch up on, but I have been working steadily on crunching down those pictures, putting on captions and otherwise making them suitable for a website etc. Early this morning I posted the last of the pictures and went “live.”

Working on the pictures brought back many fond memories for me and had me doing things like seeing how many people (that I befriended at the biennale) I could find on facebook. I realized as I was going through the pictures that I didn’t get pictures of many people I talked to and I didn’t get pictures of their art – guess I was too busy being at the Biennale instead of documenting it. I was in several group photos but I didn’t force the camera off onto the randomly drafted photographer often enough either. So I do have a request… If you were a participant in the Florence Biennale and have other pictures you would like to add to this conversation, please post them.
So far early comments have been positive. I hope you will enjoy it too, Anyway, let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you.
