Perhaps, Tim, you could get some guy to jump over a puddle thirty-six times, but could you take even one image as captivating as the published H.C.-B. shot? I for one could never take a picture that great. Not even close. All photographers on thioos list who think that given enough film they could take a picture as great as fine as this or any of hundreds of Cartier-Bresson shots please raise your hand.
