What wonderful, beautiful black & white pictures!<<<<<<<<< Hi Arthur, I've had the same book for some time and it's one of my favourites to illustrate "KISS" photography. "Keep it simple stupid!" He did and does very beautiful B&W with such simplicity it's inspiring to attempt a similar style. Not to copy, I don't believe in that, nor do I feel one could copy the same type of magic within their images. If one is a believer in the learning good photography by looking at good photography in books, this is a classic to learn from. Hi Sal if you read this....please put it on the list, well worth having it listed, thanks. ted
