At one of the country's most distinguished universities a search committee has been formed to fill a vacancy in the photography department. The committee has sifted through hundreds of portfolios and only five remain. From this group they will make the decision that will fill the teaching vacancy and because of the gravitas of this program will have a lasting effect on the next generation of photographers. The portfolios that remain are labeled with the names of the applicants. The names are A.Adams, D. Arbus, E. Atget, R. Mapplethorpe and A. Steiglitz. The committe is composed of artist teachers who are not photogrphers. They have vowed to fill the vacancy based solely on the images in the portfolios. Who gerts the job and why?
