Ansel is peering out from under his focusing cloth taking a shot for some primary school class photo. Ansel would only endorse what he believed in. He was very much involved in the development of Polaroid film. And he worked with many other manufacturers. I suspect he would be more choosey than people here are implying. In spite of his commercial side, he was an artist who was forced into commercial work to support his wife and family - as well as his art.

Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law cannot be a tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a mortification against the martyrs it has created. You cannot threaten any individual and escape the consequences." - -- Frank Herbert - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
