Not really. He and I have such different philosophies WRT photographs and photography (at least so it would seem from that quote) that we might as well be in different universes. I'd say we're talking apples and oranges - there's no possible discussion. Obviously we're photographing for different purposes (like, he's doing it for money <LOL>). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
