Hi Tom, I do trust you! My apologies for jumping to the wrong 
conclusion. The fact is, I spent a fair amount of time trying to
see if the glass or plexi (I couldn't tell which) was the source
of the bands I saw. I jockeyed around trying to locate long, 
horizontal scratches in the glazing. I should have mentioned 
that possibility in my post. 

In any case, the quality of the prints was so high something 
anomalous was clearly at work. I walked away with the impression of 
meticulous craftsmanship and reverence for Evans' work.

Thanks for clarifying this. I wish I hadn't mentioned it, it's a 
minor detail about a great exhibit. What I should have said instead
was that I was inspired. If I remember correctly, the prints are 
on exhibit through Friday. Anyone within range ought to make time 
to see it.
