Tim,

Your paragraph is perfect, exactly right.   Thanks.

"The point is, IMAGES A LA SAUVETTE has no sense of 'decision' in it, but
reflects, IMHO, the true nature of HCB's work as a kind of supercondensed
snapshot in which geometric relations between people and things snap into a
kind of perfect but unstable equilibrium... a stasis, where things just hang
there, like a marble perfectly balance on the top of an upturned wok, which
won't be there the next time you look back."
