Work is progressing on the Debussy film and on acquiring a grant. Peter Bay is still on board but it is a matter of finding time to do the taping. I will do more establishing shots in Paris in July. The cheap airfares are a real boon!

I drove 1100 miles in 45 hours last weekend and visited West TX. I stayed in Fort Stockton and drove to Marathon, Study Butte, along FM170 the river road along the Rio Grande, through Presidio, Marfa, Valentine, Alpine, and back to Fort Stockton.

I reworked my original sample with some new footage. I will use this to help apply for a grant.
