    Please forgive my tiny little gloat - I'm in Tucson, and work at the University of Arizona.. which houses the CCP
    http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/bra...p/ccphome.html
    Where there is some of Strand's work (814 prints to be exact) . . and which I've gotten to see some just by accident... they have free print viewing sessions during the weekday afternoons, and twice a week I have classes that end just as the print viewing hours begin.. so I just drop in to see what's what..
    Last week someone had asked for one box each of Stieglitz, Strand, and Sullivan...

    Which is to say - indeed, the originals DO knock your pants off... no matter what we might not "fell" from this reproduction...
