I guess this one's for me Richard, thanks.
However, this guy's prose remains mostly tautological old gobbledycook  
to me. I quote:

"I explained that epic results are the fruit of ongoing practice. “The  
more you shoot,” I told him “the more often you’ll make an epic  
photograph.”

What are we supposed to understand of so called Epic photography with  
that I wonder.

Trying hard but so far fairly unsuccessful Philippe - not the  
screwdriver ;-)
