What a great link BD, thank you so much! I must spend more time browsing
this one but initial impressions are tremendous.

The UNC Chapel Hill library has William Gedney's journals, writings, books -
and all his prints, contact sheets, and negs - and there are countless
photos on-line that can be browsed through...The work is incredibly
good....I would recommend that anyone interested try starting here..
http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/dynaweb/gedney/books/bd03/

This is a dummy - with photos - for a book Gedney put together, but never
published, called 31 Photographs, 1968...If you want inspiration, this is
the place to go...

BD - my thoughts exactly - although the wife of two weeks was his new
girlfriend in my version.
