You and I think in similar ways. "The Americans" was one of the first photo books I bought (a used 1969 paperback edition when I was a sophomore in high school) ... I still have it, still find it what I turn to when I need inspiration. That's not to say I could reduce my photo book library to just that without significant pain. But if everything else were to disappear and I be left with just that, it would suffice. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
