I prefer some photographers over others, but to place one over the other is a gift ,apparently Szarkowski never conferred with you on his decision. Could you perhaps give us proclamations on other subjects; Beatles vs Stones, Hendrix vs Clapton ? Which is better? As to MOMA's influence: I suppose you're right-- who needs Arbus, Winograd,Friedlander, Evans or The Family of Man. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
