An ongoing controversy clarified for me at last after countless on list threads over a decade by people who were there and knew the people or who WERE the people. We've always apparently thought that HCB, Doisneau, Smith, DDD, Magnum, LIFE photographers were ciphers blending into the woodwork it turns out half the time very much the opposite they were hired to bring back a shot and bring back a shot they would even if it meant hiring models to shoot with the strobe kit they had in a leather case on their belt they brought to all jobs. That's the available light issue thread which runs parallel. So interact they would and I don't feel bad about it when I do it. I'll tell the guy to look off into the Hudson river direction again like he was just doing I don't get a twinge. I don't need a shot of them looking nervously into the camera wondering what I'm doing.? What is reality anyway? Its not NOT telling the guy to go back to do what he was doing. Or take that one more time please. >From the top. I'd think the LIFE ethic might differ from the MAGNUM I'm not up on all that and you'd not be able to group all those people I mention above always into the same group at all times. Take it from the top one more time please. Mark William Rabiner Harlem, NY rabinergroup.com
