This region is very special. Well, so I've heard. But in the (competitive) spirit of the season, I've commissioned a portrait series by the delightful Candida Höfer. Yes, that Candida Höfer. I know, it's exciting, but keep it in your pants. In traditional Höfer style, these aren't traditional portraits. No, these are portraits of the buildings of TSP*, the places that make this region great. So marvel at this sixteen piece collection, revealed at a special gallery opening on Christmas Eve and promptly transferred to the [nation]Erinor[nation] Museum of Fine Art in time for Christmas Day.

*Unfortunately, due to armed guards and Candida being a big baby about a little razor wire and napalm booby traps, we were unable to photograph the CRS compound or the South Pacific Special Forces center of operations.
