wish i could get there to see it ..
the college i went to had a print collection
and i was lucky enough to be able to give my library card
and get portfolio box and handle/look through
some of his work ( maybe parts of this series )
and harry callahan and handfuls of others ... quite a treat !
and when i was at his [AS] house he showed me some
of his work [sitting on a couch in his living room].
