As a complete doofus I've assumed one more or less meant the other ........ I think there may be a difference. More importantly can I start calling myself a documentary photographer? I'm serious and I am NOT poking fun at people in either camp who do these activities well. I can't call myself a photo journalist because I can NEVER get the story right! So this leaves documentary photography as a possible moniker. ( kids tell me that rube and hack are better descriptions of what I do with a camera!! :) Ernie Nitka - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
