Commentary on art, teaching, and random musings. Sunday, August 17, 2008. Opening at Alexandria's Athenaeum. Opened at the Athenaeum on Prince Street in Alexandria, VA.

For instance, a series of 24 sounds would sell for $400, or a series of 64 homonyms sell for $1100. Mark Cameron Boyd's Song for Europe.
