Okay, maybe not, but it was a success ....

I carted around a leica (no film in it of course) for graduation this
week. Was pleased to see lee friedlander brought a hexxar with him and
ran around shooting graduation himself. Before the procession was about
to go into the stadium, they paused for about 15 minutes and everybody
was milling about. Friedlander was chatting with Dr. Jaroslav Pelikan
who I happened to have photographed for a magazine a year or so ago and
who I've been friendly with ever since. Pelikan came over to me and
said: "Everybody's so excited that Bono is here, nobody's paying
attention to my friend Lee Friedlander." and I said "You're friends with
Lee Friedlander?" and he said "Why yes, we went to school together, I'll
introduce you." So I got to have a happy chat with Mr. Friedlander about
books and models, families, photography, portraits, and the hours of
Photovilla ("I've been plenty of times, but it never seems to be
open!"). He mentioned how great he thought the CV lenses were. He had
the 21 with him. It was swell and I didn't say anything stupid enough to
make myself memorable!

P.s. he was using both black and clear tape on his camera. That must be
the pro-method. _______________________________________________
