So Henry, all I was saying (and jokingly) is that these photographers have
taken portraits where the nose and ears are in focus. You went on to talk
about 3:1 lighting ratios why Karsh's body of work is different from Annie
Leibovitz' work which is like fine sushi, etc. Much different from the
simple statement above.
I rest my case. ;-)
