Having lived in NYC and Boston area for a total for 19 years, I knew a bit about him, but I guess not much at all. Gears aside, who think Ralph's picture (image 7) is better than Nat Fein's? I think it's often said that Net Fein's picture is so powerful precisely because Babe's face was not visible, but would Nat Fein have chosen a more face-on shot if he had the chance or the choice?
