Thanks, Ann. I don't recall the Tunnel Diner. Was it by one of the tunnels to NYC? which one?
I did see the Bader book, several years ago. It made a big impression on me. I think I should see if I can find a copy to purchase, but perhaps I should wait until I have put together my little group of images of local diners; otherwise, I will either be tempted to imitate his work, or become so depressed at the impossibility of coming anywhere close to it that I will just give up. As I said before, my ambitions are very limited, and and I am not aiming at something of the level of Bader's book or your fine collection of images. Thanks again for your encouragement and advice.
