I looked at your list and first saw the Magnum photographers' names, then noticed a few who I only know about because of their MM photos, so I checked one or 2 I'd never heard of and decided that was good enough. > Congratulations, Bob, well done!

I'd like to thank the Academy, my agent, everybody sitting at the same table, my parents, all my primary school teachers, the binmen who do such a wonderful job of waking me at 6 every Monday, ... > Another question for this list would be: Was M.M. ever shot with a Pentax > camera? > (In all probability she was, although maybe not by a pro, but by > one of many thousands of fans who would take the opportunity to > shoot her whenever she appeared in sight.)

I like Inge Morath's photos of her dancing round a tree on the set of The Misfits. There are also some early grainy b&w photos (by de Dienes?) of her on a beach which I like a lot. -- Cheers, Bob
