I never realized he was already taking photos in 1960. But then until today I'd never bothered to check his age. I had no idea he was born in 1930, which would have made him 30 in 1960. I also had no idea he was 13 years older than KLS...

Um, the press release about the exhibit contains TLATKLS's apparently private phone number and e-mail address.  That can't be real, can it?
