But I'll bet you it's Peter F. Bentley who shoots for Time. Did he have a beard? He shoots Leica M and Canon EOS. His book on President Bush should be out, and he did the book and CD-Rom on Bill Clinton's first presidential run. I remember photographing him photographing Clinton in Independence, MO once. He was using an M6 and 75 Summilux. I ran into him again in the last campaign photographing bob Dole in Medford Oregon. He saw my M6 and said "Nice camera, don't see many of them around in small towns like this." Had a nice chat. Very nice guy. Sign of one of the good ones. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch One should never generalize.
