> Why not? there was a programme on TV a few months ago about the life and career of David Bailey. Don McCullin was in it and mentioned more or less the same thing when he was talking about Bailey's photos of the boat people in Hong Kong. He said he disliked the categorisation into 'fashion photographer', 'war photographer' or whatever, and made the point that people like him and Bailey could photograph anything well, so they were just 'photographers', and proud of it. -- Cheers, Bob
