"Much Here Is Beautiful "- Arlington Photographic Documentary Project work in a book published by the Smithsonian American Art Museum

My former photo student, Skye Raiser, kindly sent me a picture of four photographs from the Arlington Photographic Documentary Project, funded by a National Endowment For The Arts (NEA) Community Survey grant in 1979-80. It shows three of my pictures and one by my dear colleague and collaborator Paula Endo in a 2 page spread in a new book published in conjunction with a major show at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in DC. Our work is not on display in the exhibition, but is included in the book, and is now included in the museum's collections. 

And Skye- thanks so much for alerting me to this. Much obliged.
