Don't remember if I posted this link earlier on:

It's a fairly useful website.

Hmm. No nudes. No landscapes.

His commissioned work on the factories in the Ohio River valley is magnificent (Akron Museum of Art and the book is entitled "Factory Valleys"); unfortunately it's not available any longer and my copy just keeps appreciating in value (a good reason to collect photography books!!!).  Maybe a little known fact, his son Erik is a first class musician and you should give 'Block Ice and Propane' a listen to.

A salute to Lee Friedlander! Lee always was in touch with both the significance and the absurdity of life.
