I once read an interview of HCB's longtime developer, a fellow named Pierre Gassmann. He said that Cartier-Bresson usually only shot one or two frames of any given subject, and on rare occasions shot three; almost never more than that. I like your definition of "good luck" - I think that deserves a "MARK!" (not that it applies to me or anything, I just like the definition) Thanks again for your kind words. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
