By now, the accumulation of pictures -- on the walls, in piles on tops of tables, on the floor in cartons -- has an effect of its own. Friends come, look at the pictures of other friends, hear about the visit of friends, are primed in a way for me to reach for the camera. They expect it. The camera's become part of the environment/experience so-called. They want the pictures of themselves to be good ones, they don't want anyone else to say, gee, those contact prints of so-and-so are awful. He looks washed out. So, there's a strong collaboration.
