Byron Rakitzis visiting Portland Oregon from San Francisco and I were looking at
that book in Powells Bookstore this early evening.
I don't have too many of these large expensive photo books, a half dozen. But I
want this one. Very well done.
There was a magazine article about it recently somewhere so I was boned up on it.
Tomorrow at Powells at 8 is Annie Leibowitz signing her book. I'm half planning
on being there. Another great book. I'm liking her more.
