The Tower Bridge

Lucky left on a 7:45 pm flight to London last night. He had less then 100 dollars in his pocket and a dream to chase. His publisher called him on Monday and told him that they would like to fly him out this week (crazy short notice but we had been waiting for this trip all year). Lucky was packed the minute his phone call ended and he even got a new haircut for the occasion! He'll be dropping off some negatives and looking over the organization of his book while he's out there. You can still buy a copy of his book at www.shelterbookcampaign.com.

I'm so proud and excited for him. I can only imagine what its going to be like, to meet fellow artist and gallery owners that want to show his art, his passion. Its truely an amazing thing for him and its only the beginning.

His phone doesn't work in London so he has been e-mailing. Here are some of them:

so i stole a seat on the only couch in trolley after my walk to and across the tower bridge and back and then introduced myself to the older gentlemen that returned from the toilet to reclaim his stolen seat. come to find out it was Phillip the photographer for whom this evening a special opening is being held. i then met 7 people from the BBC that came to interview him... they were all speaking Welsh and cerbo/croation. guess i have to learn it somehow.
