Hey! The crusty old guy (HCB) is one of my heroes. If you had seen my photos from the old days you would have had no doubt of his influence on me. I do, I admit, tend to be very irreverent about my heroes.
The fact is his obsevation that the instant selected to push the button is one of the most important visual controls we have. After all, what makes still photography different from videography is that we take one tiny slice out of a time sequence and try to show something universal rather than just I was there. In fact, especially with people photography, that is the difference between a great photograph and a snapshot, at least in my mind.
