In fact, Adams was so good at what he did that he not only was accepted as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, (not photographers, note) but he also was popular with average folks. That's quite a feat. Of course, I think use Westerners tend to relate more to his vision and subject matter more than some from back East. :-) - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The galley slave's ode of joy.
