The photos drying at Dave’s new studio in downtown Portsmouth, Virginia.

The photos arrived in Dublin beautifully intact…

…thanks to the high level of care Dave gave them in printing and packing.

I mounted backing boards in Dublin…

…and got them ready to hang…

…with Colleen Dube, the CEO of the Fulbright Commission in Ireland.

It takes a lot of concentration to get them hanging on the walls.

But thankfully Colleen has experience at this….

…she used to work at the National Gallery.

And she has a really good eye for aligning and leveling…

…which I’ve never been good at myself.

But I’m learning by doing…

…and the show is shaping up.

We’ll finish hanging the rest tomorrow in preparation for the May 8 opening.
