One day I was on counter duties, receiving films returning from borrowers and handing out films to other borrowers.

ReplyDeleteMaybe not.
I myself realised you have to choose a drop down choice for your name. Slowly I will work it all out.
DeleteYes, great images ! Here is Vicky's website too, which has not been updated since 2015, but has some of her great "early work" ! http://vickymousoulis.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. Yes .. 2015 .. deary me. Maybe I should look into that. But you know my pace.

ReplyDeleteThanks for that link Bill, I've added it to her page.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter
DeleteSome great explorations here Vicky. Like good art, they draw me in for multiple viewings, each time triggering something slightly different, causing me to enjoy and wonder...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate that and your responses to the photos. Cheers
