I would never deny he is (or was, or still is) quite salable. My only observation was a personal one......His work was sharp as a tack, beautifully lighted and extremely well composed. Nonetheless, it was all "appearances" and very little communication. Unless, of course, one prefers D**ks to T*ts&A**. Additionally, had he focused on the latter in the same manner, blah blah blah and bland. ( this opinion is my own and in no way reflects that of other Leica users, right B.D.?)
