[Leica] IMGs: French Accent (Portfolio)

[Douglas Barry]

I agree, Jayanand. You can't beat eye contact. The way to a person's soul is
through their eyes. Well done on that one, Mitch, and there are others too
:-)

Reminds me of the story of former English international soccer player and
Fulham manager of the time getting rid of a young Niall Quinn who went on to
be a multicapped Irish international. “Son,” he said to the teenage Quinn,
“you’ve no future in football. Go home, get yourself a good education.
Forget about this life. I wanted to call you in here to tell it to you
straight. Man to man. See, there’s two ways of doing this. There’s the
polite way and there’s the truthful way. I’ll give it to you the truthful
way, son. As long as you have a hole in your arse, you will never make a
footballer.”

Sadly, too many people in photography (including myself betimes) think that
pictures from behind work all the time. There's no definite route to the
soul through that particular hole, but the eyes always work... mostly :-)
