Hi, Eric, and agreed....unfortunately, this wench was required 
reading in "art" school in the seventies and eighties.....now we 
have "new" gurus, equally inept, giving guest lectures and writing 
"scholarly" papers about everything BUT photographic issues....I can't 
attend most of our presentations because I couldn't keep my mouth shut 
or refrain from puking.

Good to see you in print again, have been reading again for a while, 
Best to U and URS<
