BUSHWA! I would say, go to Tina's website- I did and spent a lot more time there than I do on most other sites. Wonderful images. Do I care if they show 200 lp/mm? Heck, No! Do I care if she chose to use a <GACK> Canon? or even an oatmeal box with a pinhole? HECK, NO! The bottom line is that she has the ability to connect with her subjects in such a way that they do not feel intimidated, or put upon in anyway. She manages to express the dignity of these people, even though they are living in conditions most of us would find unimaginable. So, she likes Leicas- for whatever reason, but the most important part of the whole photographic system is the person holding the camera! Dan (Humbled) Post
