Packs of Luckies on the floor of Clay Street apt

Bill Jacobson took this and a ton of other shots when we lived together in SF in 1975-76. We were both new to the city, though Bill was from the East Coast. he'd been to Brown--he knew what an f-stop was. I was intrigued by what it meant to not be the author of my pictures, at least not to be the one that snaps. This carries through to the self-portraits with Instamatic using the white chord as shutter-trip--I never really could predict when the pressure would be enough to capture the image.
