Last month I had my first gallery show at [Niche Video Art](http://niche.la/). This month my show continued at Niche. I took some photos during the show as well as a couple when I was walking over. Here are a few, including my increasingly rare self-portrait shot: [](https://eecue.com/p/30013/Dave-Bullock-Self-Portrait.html "Dave Bullock Self Portrait") [](https://eecue.com/p/30009/My-First-Gallery-Show.html "My First Gallery Show") [](https://eecue.com/p/30015/Niche-Video-Screening-on-the-Bartlett.html "Niche Video Screening on the Bartlett") [Click here to see the rest of the Downtown Art Walk March 2008 photos](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1521-1-Downtown_Art_Walk_March_2008.html).

This is the craziest email scam I've ever gotten. It would be totally plausible if there was any chance that Benazir Bhutto whould have had my email address in her address book. I almost want to respond to see what kind of a scam it is, but I'm sure it's just your average Nigerian Email scam: > > From: [email protected] > > > Subject: Re: Benazir Bhutto > > > Date: March 31, 2008 10:28:38AMPDT > > > To: undisclosed-recipients: ; > > > Hello, > > > I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation to > you for your support during the hour of need.
