Well, I hope I didn't offend anyone.

"Snapshots" is very interesting. We spent a whole afternoon looking at HCB's
SFMOMA exhibit but also the "Voyeurism" exhibit as well. And a few days ago,
we went to a few galleries where there are plenty of Snapshots by
Freidlander etc.

Again speaking for myself, most snapshots don't do much for me, by
themselves. One or two prints from Freidlander, Winogrand? Snapshots. Put
them in the pile. As a portfolio or series? Now that's different. The whole
is greater than the sum of its part.
