I read a story once (maybe it was here) about a photographer who

his portfolio to Magnum for consideration. He was upset at their
dismissal
of his work, and complained because, he said, "My pictures are
just like
Cartier-Bresson's". The reply was "Yes, that is true. But Cartier-
Bresson's
are like no-one else's".
How low-class... The proper phrase is "no-one's else". Some
poser at Magnum, I suspect.
