By Ted Grussing Sometimes it is hard to discern between that which is real and that which is not, particularly when it is a melding to two very real photographs … sometimes like tonight I’m not really sure why I do what I do but it is the experimentation that blends the micro with the macro worlds … both are very real and both co-existed for a brief period and I still don’t know why I put it together … just like the colors and the patterns … so it is titled “Dunno”. Feels good though!

Information & Perspective by Warren Woodward(April 9, 2015) I had not intended for this to be an open letter.

I will be asking the questions they forgot or never thought to ask. For example, why hasn’t ACC commissioner Bob Stump been taken away in handcuffs?
