My wife likes gin.  I... just... can't.

A Gin & Tonic, sounds like such a refined drink, a drink everyone should enjoy.  Whenever I end up in a posh networking event I think maybe, maybe my taste buds have evolved to where I will like one. 

I promptly find out I'm wrong.

It's possible you're drinking the wrong gin and not all tonics are equal. When I still drank alcohol G&T was the weapon of choice. Tanqueray (spelling?) was lovely but Gordons was good and of course it has to be strong.

The terrible stuff we got in Ghana in teh 70's was pretty raw - I visited the factory once and saw the drums of alcohol they used. I didn't see the drums of flavouring

I tried quite a few gins, and now a few different tonics.  Nothing yet I can stomach, although there is a bottle of Tanqueray Rangpur on my desk.  Maybe after I photograph it I'll find out I like it. 

To each their own.  I can drink Tequila like water (not sure if that is a good thing), but I know quite a few who hate the stuff.

James,
you really have created your own style and I like it.  All your pictures I have seen on LuLa made me pause some seconds and think about the person(s) in the picture. Are they relaxed or are they apathetic? They are mysterious.
When I look at your photos I'm in the thick of it and simultaneously far away.
They make me insecure and demand my attention. Great work!
Thanks,
Ben

Interestingly there seems to be a real 'small batch gin distillery' movement at the moment.

Makes my wife and I happy.  One way to deal with the 5-7pm noise...

I tried some of these expensive boutique gins in the UK albeit some years ago and in my view most were change for the sake of change rather than an improvement but each to his and her own.

Well I know which description I match best.

Interestingly the ones we're trying in BC are only $2-3 more a bottle.  Some really lovely...others not so.

Getting ready for the ArtExpo New York!
Anya shot a quick short while I was going through the small prints: https://youtu.be/fXH0nC3ARXE

If you'd like a pass to the show let me know.

Beautiful prints!

[MichaelEzra]

Thanks Andrea:) This year I came up with new framing options without a mat for the larger prints. They are mounted on the brushed surface of the aluminum composite panels with metal showing around the print. This creates an immersive effect as print is shown entirely with the borders; brushed metal absorbs the ambience of the room and the shadowbox encasement gives it a cool modern look.
