I really tire of having my opinion belittled by those who claim that I don't like something because I don't understand it. I understand Eggleston just fine, and I don't like his stuff, period! That said, if someone likes Eggleston, also fine. Far be it from me to belittle their judgment -- at least to their face. ;-) - -- Roger, List-Owner The LEG (Leica Enthusiasts Mailing List) http://www.topica.com/lists/leica
