While I don't doubt that the above quote is accurate, I do doubt that it amounts to instructions to his developer or printer. The following is written in red letters above his images on the Magnum site: "Restrictions : Do not use for advertising purposes. This photo may not be cropped or trimmed in reproduction." So, in light of the prior lines, your quote may be more instructions to subsequent purchasers of his photos. As I said earlier, he "almost never" cropped. He didn't like to. But his developer, Gassman, said it did occur. And "Derriere la Gare St. Lazare" is proof of it. It in no way dimishes the man, his work, or his impact, IMHO. cheers, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
