> HCB achieved most if not all his 'decisive moment' shots on a light table - > though I doubt the myth he created will ever go away :-/ > Karl, Yes, I am aware of the HCB controversy. :-) but, some of them were still decisive (compared to Rumsfeld sitting still under the spotlight or Dean standing still near a window in natural light, which are in my subjective judgment 'expressive' but not decisive). I admire Burnett for doing what he is daring to do and the images, as I said, are stunning. obviously, this is MHO. He is a PJ, will he go to Fallubjah and get the picture of a burning vehicle or dead contractors hanging from Euphrates bridge (what a horrifying brutal act, prayers go to the families) with his ektar lenses on a 4X5? -achal
