Juan,
That's an interesting article and a good read and I thank you for the URL.
However...
>>>
He encouraged us to look at great photographs. See prints in galleries and
museums to know what good prints look like. Work. Winogrand recommended
looking at The Americans by Robert Frank, American Images by Walker Evans,
Robert Adams' work and the photographs of Lee Friedlander, Paul Strand,
Brassai, Andre Kertesz, Weegee and Henri Cartier-Bresson.

This brought forth an involuntary epithet from me [translation: ah swore out
loud]. American IMAGES?!? Good Lord. It's enough that this pale, flaccid
little word has gained such currency as an acceptable (and to some, it
seems, preferable, God forfend) substitute for our good muscular
19th-century word "photograph," but to sully the very title of one of the
art's masterpieces....
It's _American Photographs_, of course. NOT American Images. Sheesh and
double sheesh! There are times I wish I'd never given up drinking. <s>
