I only have Steidl's 2008 edition. You are probably right about Sarah Greenough's book, the contacts in the new edition is probably the icing on the cake, I'm pretty sure is a great read as well; I didn't have enough time to read it in the bookstore though. On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 1:52 PM,

I had noticed this barn in the past and thought I remembered where and which direction it faced. Decided to go looking for it early this AM. I wanted the sun at this angle, or lower. Was glad to see the resident moving about, so as to give me permission to drive in and photograph the barn.
