Redo dummy of San Francisco book. Take out 14 pictures and put in 21 different ones bringing the total to 95 prints.

The difficulty of doing this type of book is that is based on a module of 2 (a spread containing 2 pictures to be looked at the same time) and the pictures must not only progress the viewer forward but be congenial with each other as far as content, scale, value - this means you end up using a lot of pictures that are only half as good. - but it is a necessary evil if one is to do this type of literary book.

I am attempting a literary form in visual terms. I am telling a story with characters that reappear and scenes that are repeated.

It is divided into 7 sections.

1. The morning awaking - Establish the need for love and its rejection or inability to accept it. Each person retreating back into his own ego. The separateness of bodies asleep. The birth.

2. The day outside. Formed for the most part of groups of one or two life. Life in the streets and park. The solitary singer and the lovers - the wanderers. The need to share, the brief warmth of two -

3. Change and reestablishment - The impermanence of floating existence - the new place to stay but the feeling that it is not permanent, at best safe for a few days. A life cannot be based on physical attraction done. Love is not enough.
