sneak peak

i will be involved in a button show that opens this friday....here is a sneak at my button below. it's a detail of a larger pic i made last year at the MCA when i took a snapshot of Wolfgang Tillmans with his eyes closed. it was much later when i realized i really liked the pic and the endearment/failure involved in a failed attempt at a simple normal snapshot of a 'celebrity' (especially if you're into photo). the info is below, or go to www.lloyddoblergallery.com for info...
