It seems to be quite common with the Magnum photographers. There was an article a year or 2 ago in one of the US photo magazines which showed a few pictures by different Magnum photographers, with them talking about how the picture was made. They nearly all said they used an incident meter. This despite them using very modern and well-equipped cameras. By the way, it's Nachtwey. Nachtweny is his fashion photographer cousin <g>. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
