Karl, Documents such as newspapers are a time-honored subject for artists. They commonly take the form of collage. I just saw some work that was photographs of 60's era newspapers - Nixon, Vietnam war, etc. They affected me more than any photograph I've seen in a long while. I'm ashamed to admit that I forgot to write down the photographers name. Please, does anyone know who it might be? They were just straight photos of the papers above the fold as I recall. The darn show was over that day and I couldn't go back and check. AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 4Th ed.
