" ... Naturally, Mr. Burnett found his new look in the closet. He hasn't 
gotten rid of a camera since 1978 (when he traded in all his Nikons for 
Canon gear) and he has around 50 cameras and 50 lenses at his home near 
Washington. So by the time he hit the campaign trail last year for Time 
magazine, he was packing not only the Speed Graphic and the digital 
Canon, but also a 2 1/4-by-2 1/4-inch Mamiya or Rolleiflex and a $15 
plastic camera called a Holga. In fact, a photo of Al Gore on the stump 
that Mr. Burnett took with a Holga won a top prize at the 2001 White 
House News Photographers' Association's Eyes of History contest."
