     If we were to admire Henri Cartier-Bresson for his supposed technique, 
     we should be disappointed to learn that it was something other than we 
     had been led to believe.  But a great photographer is not the one with 
     a great technique, but the one who produces great photographs whatever 
     his technique may happen to be.  And I know of no photographer who has 
     produced greater photographs than Cartier-Bresson.

Poor Ted! Listen troops, not one word about Santa Claus on here. I 
don't want this list to be responsible for whatever happens to Ted.
