<snip> I agree with Bob. That's a hell of a photo. I also agree with him WRT interest in people photos. I know (and a landscape photographer such as yourself may find this blasphemous) that I find 60 year old HCB photos a heck of a lot more compelling than 60 year old Ansel Adams photos of Yosemite (or wherever). The rocks and mountains are still there (although I know in some places they're fast disappearing, or having condos perches upon themj), but the people and the situations they were in are gone forever, captured only for that split second on film (or now, sensors). That's what I find compelling about photos of humanity. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
