Thanks, Barry. "Color" is/was the name of the Magazine, and you read it probably 
in its last real issue. For a couple of years I wrote regularly - actually big 
longish essays - for that magazine & its companion, Black & White magazines. In 
both I got to critically cover the careers of  a number of great contemporary 
photographers: the late Larry Sultan, Leo Rubenfien, Michael Light, Linda 
Connor, Joel Leivick among them. 


To save the essays from disappearing (no there is no website for the mag), I am 
working on getting them published as a book. Other than shortish show based 
reviews, I discovered it's really hard to find much in depth critical discussion 
of contemporary photographers. Ironic in light of photography's 0 to 60 miles 
and hour ascendancy in the art market in the last 20 years.

By the way one of your D.C. Museums - the ever fragile Corcoran - just provided 
SF MOMA with a great Muybridge show.

Subject: Re: Jim Goldberg - photographer of the Mideast &

I should mention that I read Stephen Vincent's useful essay on Jim Goldberg 
within a photography magazine while relaxing in Borders Book Store in White 
Flint Mall after walking for exercise.  I can't remember which magazine, and 
since that Borders location is now in the process of closing, I'd appreciate a 
bibliographic citation.  Assume it isn't and may never be available online.

Enjoyed a talk by Jim Goldberg a number of years ago at an unmentionable museum 
in Washington DC and traces of an earlier project at an equally unmentionable 
alternative space here are in my possession.  JG escaped untainted.
