Re: gums of Cy's work

Hey Judy,

I, too, had the opportunity to do exactly that back in the fall.   
Yes--it's well worth the visit.  And I agree about the "obliging  
young man in charge" at the John Stevenson gallery.  I couldn't  
believe how generous he was with his time and his willingness to show  
all those deCosse prints, but the work of so many other photographers  
as well. (I was with someone else who was braver than I about asking  
to see practically everybody's work), and so it was our own private  
showing there for a long while.   He was so nice, and all I bought  
was a catalog of the Imogen Cunningham show that was up there at the  
time!  But, yes, amazing prints all, and well worth the visit.  We  
were there on a Saturday afternoon, too.
