I for one can say that you have missed much in Cartier-Bresson's "presentation, style, content, analysis, whatever..." or else I have to assume that your ability to see is severely limited. Another possibility is that you enjoy taking stands which you know to be provocative, but it seems to be in this case that deep down you are really very shallow.

I think a little jaunt down history's memory lane could just show other wise. I look at a lot of work, in the original as often as possible, and no I can't say that I missed much in his presentation, style, content analysis, what ever.... But then, this all rather subjective. For myself, I get considerably more from being in the presence of the portraiture of the Roman Republic than from HCB. Slobodan Dimitrov Buzz Hausner wrote: > > You have got to be joking, Slobodan!
