[Diana Bloomfield]

Hey Trevor,

Sorry-- I knew I would forget something.  I should have added that a  
trip to Duke's Center for Documentary Studies (also in Durham, near  
Ninth St) is worthwhile as they are always showing interesting  
exhibits.  Not typically alternative processes, but definitely worth a  
trip-  They are currently showing some photographs by Mary Ellen  
Mark.  And nearby is Duke's relatively new Nasher Museum, also - and  
always-- worth a visit (currently showing a film by Mark's husband,  
Martin Bell, in conjunction with her exhibit at CDS).
