Good point Eric....I have been thinkiing the same thing but have gotten tired of arguing constantly with people who think we are all unethical SOBs....most news photographers have very strong ethical convictions concerning their work. On a different note I was talking to a very good friend of mine in Houston (he is also a photographer) just a few minutes ago and he mentioned that his assistant worked with Eddie Adams last week. Said his assistant was a little dissapointed as most "big name" photographers travel with a big entorge and a big set up of lights....Eddie showed up just himself, one case of lights and one case for camera gear...travels very light. Said he was a supper nice fellow and good to work with. Harrison McClary email: harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net preview my book: http://www.volmania.com
