Large rapidity gap events in deep inelastic scattering are discussed in terms of light cone wave functions for quarks and gluons inside the photon. It is shown that this approach is consistent with earlier, conventional Feynman diagram calculations. An updated parametrization for the cross section is given and a numerical analysis presented.
