Dear Guy, I have been trying to locate the book of photos by Marja
Pirila and have no luck. Maybe there isn't one yet. It is too late to
fly half way around the world and see the show in the gallery. Anyway, I
do appreciate your sharing the website with me. It was an eye opener.
When you do find the work of the woman whose theatre work you are
seeking, I hope you will let us know too. I bought Alberaldo Morrell's
book "Camera Obscura" and enjoyed looking at the photos, but after a
while they begin to look somewhat alike so I am trying to sell it again
on half dot. com. Obviously he did a lot of hard work to get some fine
images but I have now had a taste of Pirila's work and hunger for
more..Thanks, Jean
