I have long enjoyed studying regionalisms, how the language is used in 
various parts of the country, such as "pop," vs "soda,"
vs "coke" (small 
'c'). etc. But I've got to say, you guys down there sure do say
"y'all" a lot.

Try "Tao of Photography" -- Gross/Shapiro's version. Also look for back 
issues of Aperture. For the way out, and I do mean way out, see Jan 
Saudek's work or Joel-Peter Witkins books. And for sheer bliss, look for 
the coffee table book,. Baseball in America edited by the Day-in-the-Life 
folks.

So y'all look for 'em, eh? (Canadian/Texan)

Ed Buffaloe's web site is very good. Lots of terrific information. I love 
his landscapes, but his nudes always remind me of the first efforts by a 
shy male photographer. Lots of tentativeness as he gradually works up the 
courage to get it all, so to speak. One of the worse examples on his web 
site is the wide angle shot of his model from below looking up. Not too 
flattering of her thighs. I will say, that while the series looks a lot 
like an early effort, he does manage to bring out his model's personality 
and sense of humor.

here is the correct address for the Buffaloe/nudes page. It is impossible 
to find it at his site. This address was a part of his email newsletter.
