And results he gets! Just saw the book "Eye to Eye" a few days ago.  
Stunning. I'm inclined to think that at those very close encounters  
that he makes he coldn't even use motor because of the noise.

It's funny people buy into volume shooting stories. Some people  
think that e.g. Salgado shoots enormous amounts. He must, how could  
he otherwise have so much material as to quit Magnum and set up own  
agency. From what I hear he shoots 2-3 rolls per day on longer  
trips. Well, maybe you have to be a grandmaster to get to that level  
of confidence...
