Hmmm. In fact Strand used the right-angle attachment only during his early days in New York City- "Blind Woman" being the most famous of these. And even c.1914., he was 'busted' by an onlooker at least once (the story is somewhere in one of the monographs). For his best portrait work, as in the Hebrides and in Italy, he took the 'total immersion' approach- and in Italy he had a a colleague who was from the town to introduce and interpret for him. Your project is a very appealing one, and I wish you the best of luck- and when it's done I hope you share your results
