Eric,

Your point was that you could do what Robert Doisneau did. You belittled his
work by saying that his recognition was the result of money and models.  Why
is it that whenever you post something that is either incorrect or sparks a
lot of criticism you have the same response: "Let's drop it"?

If I've mistaken your point, I'd like to know.

Bryan
