Thanks for reading. I spent a semester in college (many moons ago) with 4x5 
film camera with Mark Cohen as a teacher in Wilkes-Barre, PA.  Mark became 
well known for his ?flash in the face? street photography.  

Ralph Gibson is a treasure for photographers.  He told so many stories of 
his experiences with other well known photographers of the 20th century.  
After our workshop, he wrote his autobiography, ?Refractions 2? that is kind 
of a tell all book about his interactions with so many artists.  Good read.
