I saw a presentation by David Hume Kennerly last week. Some really nice pix, but as usual in these things I keep asking, would this stand alone as a great photo if the people weren't famous?? You know the answer to that. At the same PhotoNight event a year or so ago we saw Douglas Faulkner. He spoke of spending a month traveling Europe and North America with one actress (can't remember name) just to get one good photo. Today, he said, he'd get 20 minutes. Bilderburg, a documentary photo agency in Germany in an interview with a magazine said they used to get three weeks on a story, but now are down to three days max. And we wonder why quality is slipping... donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
