From a human interest perspective, Peter Feldstein’s work of 20 years ago is reported today in the Orlando Sentinel.  Turns out he had a plan to take shots of all 600+ residents of a remote Iowa town, and is rounding them up again today whenever possible to get side by side shots.  Friend and author Steven Bloom is working with him now, taking down narratives of the participants, and interest has been expressed from 2 publishers to turn this into a book.  More information can be read here in the:   Orlando Sentinel Article
