This, sentence, on a collector's blog surpises me.
"Collector's POV: Prior to this show, we knew nothing about the work of Ray Mortenson."
The reason being, the fist photographic monograph I bought, way back in, 1989, was by Ray Mortensen, entitled, Meadowland.
Books figure very highly in my creative output and inspiration, and while I had to 'think' about the name, I recognised it eventually, which I then confirmed by checking my library.
