    Judging from the cover, the “Icons & Allegories” catalog looks pretty good. (How is it that you have a copy of this and I don’t?)

    I bought the first Lay Flat simply for the fact that I would own one of Mark’s (McKnight) photographs. The man is without a doubt one of the best. Tears that I won’t be in Oakland any time soon.

    Haha – I don’t know, Ron! I think Mark sent me it hot off the press because we had been talking about it for a while… I bet yours went in the mail at the same time. Did it arrive yet?
