I read it twice and am printing it out to show my wife, who was a sysop on Compuserve for many years. Thanks for putting that up.

Now I'm back in California trying to make sense of it all. Because I am more experienced as a writer than as a photographer, I dealt with my reactions to it by writing about it rather than by running out to take pictures. If you don't mind the religious context of my essay about Smith's work, you can see what I had to say about it here: http://anglicansonline.org/resources/essays/reid/together.html Although I wrote this for a religious audience, I think its core message, about virtual communities changing cities for the better, is quite applicable to the LUG. In the essay I mention the book rather than the exhibit because I think the book will be accessible to more people. The prints hanging on the wall are amazing beyond measure. That man knew how to take pictures and he knew how to print them. I think that if he'd had Photoshop 6 available to him, he'd be alive today.
