However, Sal, from your standpoint as a PJ I can understand your dislike of his style... I didn't really cut the mustard as a PJ myself with a couple of UK daily papers in the late 70s - I come more from a "designer" area - and so I think his work is really good. I also remember a thread about 6 months ago asking who was the greatest photographer of the century. Along with a few others (Mike J included - us editors have to stick together <g>) I nominated HC-B and AA... two photographers so different that neither could be eliminated. And at the time I added a third name (so much for decisive moments) with Gibson, whom I felt could not be eliminated either.
