We're extremely one sided here in the forum (and justly so <g>) but the real world isn't really there (yet). This exhibit is more than just a digital photog exhibiting prints and claiming them equal...this is going into a whole new realm of re- conceptualizing the work of a dead artistic giant and the author doesn't trash the concept... he ends with a backhanded complement: "These latest prints, beautiful though they are, will no doubt be superseded by further technological inventions claiming to extract still more signs of the artist's genius. They will come and go. Technology isn't timeless. Evans is." Anyhow, I sure wish I was able to get to nyc and see this exhibit. cheers, Tom O'Connell
