In th Leica booth at Photoplus in LA was featured the work and presence
of Jacques Lowe.  shown were his pix of the Kennedys.  But also
impressive was a book on Jazz artists--mostly portraits, all B&W.  The
quality and the detail made me sure they were made with medium format
camera and studio strobes.  So I asked him.  Nope.  Available light,
Tri-x, and Leicas.  

Wow.
