I got a few of the books you recommended (both Eugenes are so damned good!) and in fact, I just picked up Natchway's Inferno and Richards' Stepping Through the Ashes. I grew up in NY when I first moved to this country and all my family is still in NYC/NJ area. Richards' Stepping is the best book I have seen because of his emphasis on the people. I wish I can do things like that. I muck around with 777 developer to get that tonal range (and yes it's great), UT2 inkset of various paper (and you gotta see UT2 ink on Museo Silver Rag, wow!), but it's like I am just whiling away taking pictures of *safe* subjects rather than images that really mean something. I don't know. Note to others: I am not saying B.D. is as good as Smith, Richards, Natchway, etc. I am not saying anything in that department :-) May be he is or may be his not.
