Hi Mabel, Remember me? You posted those super pictures of me in my studio. I did not know they were there until someone told me. we talked briefly on the phone.
I have two proposals. If you are still modeling, would you model for me again please? The other is that I play spoons in the Cafe Babar Jug Band. Would you likw to do a photo essay of us sometime. We have no money to pay however.
the studio phone is 415-431-8127. I am not there a lot right now because I am painting landscapes around the city.
Hope to hear from you. Jack
