So the theme itself had been reduced to a level of banality. And this not stopping HCB from clicking the shutter on his version however many times. He braved the wave of thought that had made puddle jumping a "been there done that" kind of photo theme and turned it into a kind of holy photo sacrament. Now I'm translating Philippe's quote. Talk amongst yourselves. - - from my iRabs.
