It kills the myth held by, mostly, amateurs; that photography is a fair weather pastime. He sallied forth (ooh, what prose...) in storms, gales, mists, snow and worse to compile a great torrent of pictures showing the British and their faces in the face of adversity. It's a salient lesson to any who argue it's not photographic weather. As a rejoinder, it's revealed in the introduction that after his M4 started leaking (I always imagine water dripping through the baseplate at this point!) he felt he had to switch to a Nikonos underwater camera to complete the book! When I last saw his Leica the verdigris on the surface was very dissapointing... best regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Atkielski [SMTP:anthony@atkielski.com] > And you really like endless dispute about nothing, instead > of doing something sensible with your new camera, don't you?
