Ed Meyers There is a crusty older gentleman writing now who reminds me of Hattersley a great deal. I always read Hattersley. Few photo writers deal in issues of non-hardware. Brainware; heartware. It's interesting that the only ones who come to mind are at least in their '70's. I have the Photography Annual 1970 in front of me now. A writer Jonathan Brand lives around here who wrote for Pop. Around then and earlier. He was wearing a Leica in a coffee shop and I approached him a year ago. Who were some of the others; Len ***, *** Goldberg..., one eminent man died this year. Mark Rabiner
