<font size=3>Quite.&nbsp; Arrest me, too, then.&nbsp; I was deeply
underwhelemed by this selection of his work.&nbsp; My thought was:&nbsp;
&quot;what would we make of these images if they were of anonymous
plumbers, carpenters, lawyers, or criminals (or are these last two
redundant?)?<br>
<br>
Not much, I think. One can only sigh when the celebrity of the subject
invests a photograph with a virtue apart from its esthetic value.<br>
<br>
And folks--it's not as though I don't have a life (pace the numerous
recent posts).&nbsp; I'm waiting for a student to show up for an
appointment.<br>
