Oh, man, I would really love to see the exhibit, “Into the Sunset: Photography’s Image of the American West,” at the MOMA in New York. My college thesis was a western screenplay about Billy the Kid and the mythic life and death of the Wild West. It is a topic that absolutely fascinates me. And what's especially interesting is that there is still a mythology of freedom and reinvention that you can feel here even today. If you are in New York and have seen the show, let me know!
