love to go to the Academy and
discover two or three people like this
looking at the pictures and discussing
them. Then slip up close to them
they don't know there's anything in the
world but that one picture when they
get started talking about it--and
hear more about distance, and tone,
and feeling, and atmosphere than I ever
knew there was! And the next time
look at a picture you would suppose
from my conversation that really knew
something about it. Which l don't.
