Hi Sam,

Let me see if I can explain it better....

I saw his exhibit in Ottawa last July. I quite liked his early B&W 
stills. His recent stuff, including his films, are analogous to John 
Lennon making music with Yoko Ono. Only John Lennon and Yoko Ono can 
stand music made and performed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

If you like Yoko Ono, you may like contemporary Robert Frank. Of course 
some people liked the Musical Cats. I got dragged to that about 15 years 
ago and I'm still having nightmares! The only conceivable thing worse 
then having to sit through Cats once is having to sit through it twice!

When I said a Barf Bag was required when viewing his (Frank's) recent 
work I was just being polite.

Regards,

Greg
