The image shows a newspaper clipping with the headline "Learning to see" and a subheading that reads "graphs are to be on display at the Photo Show at Commonwealth Pier; a mono-graph by Frederick H. Evans, who photographed the spectrums of the medieval cathedrals of England and France, a double issue of W. Eugene Smith's photographs and most valuable essays created for Life magazine, and Clarence John Laughtin, the peripatetic veterinarian whose images of the south are as strange, tortured and honest as Faulkner's."

The article discusses the importance of learning to see and how it can be applied to photography. It mentions that there are two magazines that consistently print photographs which cannot be ignored: Aperture (Eln street, Mill Valley, Calif., $10 for four issues) and Camera (from Switzerland, monthly, $2 a year to Ralph Baum, Modernage, New York, N.Y. 10001).

The photographs exploded the concept of women's magazines' use of women's bodies. The category Nude Photography did not apply to this exhibit of nude photography. The author of the images and the vision which played them thus created its own new category, a state of being and being without clothes which doomed the slick and cold and loveless picturing of women most often associated with "nude photography."

In the same vein, Camera in September published its annual nude photography issue, a collection of pure, clear and sensual images. Camera each month publishes an issue centered around a theme bringing together photographers from around the world, blending different backgrounds, educations, politics, into a cohesive statement of what is being done in landscape photography, photojournalism, etc. Here again the emphasis is on seeing, rather than equipment hype.

Aperture and Camera should be included in any library of photographic books. Recent issues of Aperture have been taken by Edward S. Curtis between 1896 and 1910 (some of Curtis's photo-
