OMG IAN

It's as if you read into my mind! So intrigued that this touched everyone so. Just done a 19hr flight across the Atlantic from South Africa to D.C. and that's why this piece was conceptualized. Walked into an internet cafe at the aiport and posted it - then thought the better of it!
The rest as they say...
is history!
Really touched to hear from you all. Now go and read EE (Emotional Expression) my latest post and see if that throws any lights on what preceeded this!

ps. quite fun playing this Sherlock Holmes thing - even though it's not at all what I intended originally!
