Pierce wrote to me just now and said, among other things,

>>>
Would you tell Gerry Walden
that Tana Hoban, Esther Bubley and Tom McAvoy were very well known
photographers in their day - and that they deserved their public
recognition.  Every geriatric reader of the, now, long gone American picture
magazines knows their work.  Just as Gerry knows the names of some the
wonderful photographers, like Grace Robertson, whose pictures didn't cross
the Atlantic.

Pierce is one of the great Socratic gadflies of photography, an historian,
observer, appreciator, keeper of the flame, and conscience.

You can check out his column "Nuts and Bolts" at the site Dirck Halstead
founded:

I might suggest that Luggers would enjoy sampling this one:

How soon we forget,
