I was fortunate enough to see the ICP exhibit of the Pittsburgh photos and saw a bit of his "idiosyncrasies" in the mock-up layouts he made for the project but later refused to publish. There is a great book called "Dream Street: W. Eugene Smith's Pittsburgh Project" Edited by Sam Stephenson which I really enjoyed. I am rather biased toward it as I am a part-time student at the Duke Center for Documentary Studies which published the book. Still, I think it is worthwhile for those who are interested. Its listed somewhere in this site: http://cds.aas.duke.edu/books/index.html Cheers, Dave - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
