He appears to practice what Capa said...."If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough!" Or something like that. He's certainly what we might call a photographer not afraid to be, "in the thick of the action." Thanks again as we don't see much of real in your face good B&W "war" photography these days. Yep we saw some colour war stuff from Iraq but even there it doesn't compare to what one sees on this site due to the B&W look and content. Compared to what appeared from Iraq like a colour capture off the TV screen. Oh I know, now I'm going to be in deep doo doo over that comment. ;-) But this guy doesn't appear to be one of those "embedded" types "don't show the bad stuff " controlled by the military in Iraq shooters. This site is well worth spending time looking at his work. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
