iPhone issues / sending photos of paintings in the show to the guy who prints the invitations & catalogue in athens / by Philip Tarlow

5:39 PM: this morning i encountered some issues with my iPhone, which shut down and asked for my passcode to re-open. i couldn’t remember it, and every time i entered the wrong one, i got a message on the home screen to try again in 5 minues, which went to 10, 15 and then an hour!

i completely forgot that when i got the phone and gave mikela my old one, we entered our passcodes together, which were variations on a theme. so i went through hours in the studio without my phone, trying to remember thae damned passcode, when all along mikela knew it & all i needed to do was ask her!

so that colored my entire day. my intention was to get photos of the paintings in the show to the printer in athens, so that he could create a catalogue and an online invite to be emailed out. i had a lot of difficulty with wetransfer, which allows you to send large files, but i think in the end he received them.

so no painting today, which was a wildly windy day, with winds gusting to 57mph & periods of blowing snow reducing visibility to near zero at times.
