As i recall:  Having no other place to have it, the "291" gallery was
a "bit of space in an attic" on 291 Fifth Avenue (or not). Anyway, it
was quite enticing to find such a garrot filled - apparently hap-hazardly
with such treasures. Here a van Gogh, there a Cezane, and of course the
PICTURES - that is photo-graphs.

Oddly enough they were hung right along side other works of "traditional"
art. What struck me most was this quite un-assumin air of: Of course
photography is "just another kind of sketch tool".

It was at this time that i became interested in photography and went
the very same day (in that brief kind of bravado that i get every now
and then) to the local RxAll and purchased a Brownie camera. It wasn't
for about 2 days that i finally got something other than fogged film
out of the blamed thing.
