Banhe has been in Spain for the last week - Malaga and Grenada, ancient moorish quarters, the al Hambra, Mediterranean food, bazaars, etc, etc...
Without me.
I've been working.
Harumph!
Anyway... Some of what I've been working on is her very first exhibition of photography. It went up at the beginning of the week upstairs in Biblocafe. Fifteen prints, on a contemplative, Taoist sort of a theme appropriate to books, comfy leather armchairs and as much caffiene as you can legally consume. All for sale, too, if you want to take some of that contemplative mood home with you, and all for very reasonable prices. I can also throw in some more hard-sell for free, if anyone's interested.
Oh, and if anyone wants me to organise an exhibition for them, I can do that too. But not for free. Definitely not for free. Next time, I'll be doing the easy bit and pressing the shutter, and she can do all the stressing about things being square and straight and even, and not breaking glass and smudging mounts, and carting stuff about and going up that bloody hill to the printers, and running about on lunch breaks and trying to get to Ikea for picture hooks before they close at 10, and pricing and co-ordinating with gallery-space owners. (Although Lou is lovely and was enormously helpful and gave me a free hot chocolate. OK, I may not be free, but my services may be obtainable in return for hot chocolate.)
So go, obtain hot beverages, look, those of you of a Glasgow disposition, and make admiring noises (I hear cheques sound very admiring indeed). Meanwhile, she's back tomorrow, and will promptly go "wibble", or possibly "meep" when she sees I've been shamelessly plugging her work in her absence - her self-esteem is taking a while to catch up to her talent, you see. And they really are rather good, you know.
Even if my shots of ice are better.
