And then he just disappeared, reappearing only as an editor of Winogrand's "Public Relations". Another one of these neglected photographers from the 70's to have a recent exhibition and book is Charles Traub. I'm glad to see them again. I may get over it, but I tend to think the 80's and 90's were the dark ages of photography.

But, man, "peevish" leaps to mind. Gotta have thick skin, I guess. Wonderful, fascinating pictures. But, man, “peevish” leaps to mind.
