Maybe the ideal is negotiating the edge.

But for a look at the dizzying visuals the camera can provide when not
interfered with by the higher cerebral processes, see January Artforum,
which has a cover photograph by and an article on young British
photographer Richard Billingham, whose pictures of his l.c. home & family
are fabulous & amazing. Also in this issue, an article by the usually
impenetrable Benjamin Buchloh, whose description of Philip Johnson as "the
Leni Riefenstahl of corporate architecture" has got to be worth the $7
cover price.

Cheers,

Judy
