    Ordered the book--$25 used in good condition.

    Great, I think you will like the book! I believe The Akron Art Museum was first stop for the exhibition after it left Oakland (early '93).

    Merg, do you ever have anything bad to say about ANYBODY? Your posts are always so gentle, and so helpful.
    Thank you.

    Further to this discussion, since there appears to be an on-going interest in the Group f/64, this link to the University of California Press might be of interest. Most all of this material exists in other sources.

    Thank you.
    Bill, thanks for the kind words. When the topic is photography, I do attempt to keep my opinions to myself and perhaps help in a positive way. However, make no mistake, I have strong concerns about where photography appears to be heading and of those directing. I have less and less respect for the present crop of museum directors and curators when I consider those I knew in the 1950's and 60's. But that is a another story.

    This thread I find of interest because I knew a few of the participants in the Group f/64, Edward, Imogen, Brett, Ansel and Peter. Henry Swift was a close family friend and somewhat forgotten in discussions of the Group f/64, perhaps because he took a different road in life, but was an important member early in their formation.

    By the way, I agree with you about Strand's book, Time in New England, one of my favorites.

    They must have been trying match those images to the way they look under current, dungeon-like museum lighting.

    Bill, it seems you posted the single Amazon review of that book:

    "The images are printed somewhat darkly..."

    Sal, not surprisingly, that's the exact idea which ran through my mind.

    Only problem I see with it is that she wasn't there while it was happening. So its going to be all interpretation of what other people who were there say.
