Ted Orland, one of AA's first assistants, or possibly the first assistant,
and a fine photographer, has an excellent book: "Art and Fear".  Highly
recommended, especially for those of us who are concerned that someone might
think our photograph is not as worthy as another's, for this or that reason.
