The "Other Lights" series referenced as the first of his work Woo Lai Wah saw (bushes, not the president) is on Mitchell's photo site here: http://mikemitchell.us/
Sorry, I can't get more precise than that. Being a photographer he is legally required to have an unnavigable crap flash site. But look around for "Other Lights." The photos themselves are striking.

Vindication at last for Woo Lai Wah; all those years of posting second-hand junk with names on back to people called Smith and Brown and Jones - not one of them seemed to like or even recognise the stuff till now...

Woo Lai Wah actually 'borrowed' the film loader 40 years ago, but recently bought her first digital camera.
I kid. Great story KAC.

Quite an amazing story. If that happened to me, I'd probably have some religious epiphany or whatnot, and buy some flowing robes.

Two thoughts:
We are seldom made aware of the connections that we all have to people around the world.
"It is Buddah's meaning to do best things possible for every person on every place" is a concept too many have lost sight of, or never knew at all.

That's very neat.
Shout out to anyone in Scandanavia: have you found my blue hat yet? It blew off when I was on one of those super fast trains with the Star Trek doors.
Mail me.

Hey whoa, I was just hoping someone off of the coast of Norway might've found my green and orange hat. I'm guessing it could still be floating around somewhere in the Sognefjord, too. Keep your eyes out, cosmic lottery players!
