Several years ago I attended a screening of Peter Hutton's work at the Massachusetts College of Art where Peter was present to answer questions. Being first trained as a still photographer, I couldn't help but think about the work of Alfred Steiglitz and his "Equivalents". Unfortunately, at the time I couldn't muster up the courage to ask him about it. Does anyone else have a similar reaction to his work?
