[Leica] Bob Shell is a master of the medium

- -- Yes-on a serious note -
    I agree with you Mark - I just think his model choices could be better
(it doesn't do him justice to be known that way at all). He HAS seen it all
and DONE a lot of it, and I have the highest regard for the guy!
    I just wanted to clear that up - but some older women and some kids or
pets as subjects might be a better choice. Pascal isn't the only one I've
heard refer to him in that way, that's all.
