    A Eulogy For Pixels At An Exhibition

    The day has come. Fifteen and a half years, over 200,000 images came into Pixels from around the world. We published 34,000 of them. We had a moment in the sun. It was like the Haight-Ashbury the year BEFORE the Summer of Love. The terrible iPhone camera, the buggy apps. But what a community! All the experimentation; we were making up as we went along. I'm grateful to all the artists from all over the world. You can find the book, PIXELS AT AN EXHIBITION at: LULU HARDCOVER https://www.lulu.com/account/projects/p6y4y78 APPLE BOOKS: https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-rise-fall-of-the-honeybun-empire/id6737652788
