Right! I totally concur, clearly. If you know great photog gallery or museum folks, please share the Spotlight with them. Let’s help get this work and archive out into the photog world as well as greater public.
OMG AC and Judy. It's 7am just woke tp read your latest spotlight. Im in heaven, all the best most wonderful shots, subjects, music, images, thoughts and gfeeling everywhere all at once now and forever and im not even fully awake. what a day its starting out to be. On to part 2. AC you tell this story with such appreciative joyful writing it blows my mind as we used to say. You make me so happy and isn't that really the point, as well as makes me think, weep. remember and most of all learn. Best yet. and, you're the best to be doing this NOW! congrats Judy.

TY Ann — you are too kind. But yes, how fab and rich Judy’s journey has been and the archive reflects that.
I look forward to seeing what readers have to say aboit the work. You can see a lot more Club Scum in the links I included at the end of Part 2 to Judy’s former LA Beat blog.
Please do share w museum / curator folks in your orbit. I wanna see this work come to NY, Mexico City, SF, Philly, Nola, Paris, Berlin etc. and be in some major museums, too. Whoever does that will be the lucky curator and institution. You heard it from me. I’m a cheerleader.
I’ll help w the party(ies) :)
