I do keep looking for his stuff though. My favorite were the Gypsies with the wings all in white. My impression was he woke up after sleeping under a park bench to shoot them. Did not have the "pull over to the side of the road and get the shot" look. Of course either does Moonrise and it was. Your name sounds familiar don't you have a column in a magazine? As to the Czech bookstore possibly it was "Koudelka? which one?". If you are saying he said "the cost of the film was much higher than for the 35mm." Then he would be doing those panaramics with brownie film. 6x12 or 6x17. It blows me away I haven't seen any of that stuff of his. I'd love to work in 6x12. Mark Rabiner
