Yes, that's true, but the advice Capa gave him was meant to allow him to work in his own way, not to be pigeon-holed by others. He said 'Beware of labels. They are comforting, but people will stick them on you and you will never be able to get rid of them. You will be labeled the little surrealist photographer... you will be lost, and will become precious and mannered. Continue on your way, but with the label of photojournalist, and keep the rest deep in your heart.' --- Pierre Assouline, Henri Cartier-Bresson: A Biography Bob -- 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.
