Hello Ting,
I just got back from NYC. I couldn't leave without seeing Bruce Davidson's
show. What an exhibit! For those who don't know about it it's the series he
did in the late 50's on the  Brooklyn street gang the Jokers. Incredible
work! There is even a portrait of him leaning against a tree, between two
teenagers. He looks exhausted. Peeking out from his jacket is a Leica with
what looks like a chrome lens. 

Hey Alan Hull, is Bruce Davidson an ancient or a modern. Where do you draw
the line?
