A great combo--Pam's powerful, mysterious, hauntingly beguiling images and her laconic, witty, epigrammatic self. Nancy, this form does have its own revelatory power. Great job.
Thank you for this posting Nancy - I love Pam's work. Likely she would be a great rock star!!
LIKE. Oh, wait, that's Facebook.
Trying again: I like this post, and this series.
This is terrific, her work is so rich. And I love that she loves Chuck Berry.
thank you all...and thank you, Nancy for posting my responses and my work.
