[Leica] Look up "devoted"

[Mike Johnston <michaeljohnston@ameritech.net>]

Eric: >>>There are several references to his talking about his using
35mm for snapshots, for the kinds of pictures the camera is appropriate,
but he also stated
that he never used it for his serious work.<<<

Exactly my point. He was not a DEVOTED 35mm photographer. He was an
occasional and casual 35mm user through much of his life, employing it
as a carry-around snapshot camera. What percentage of his greatest work
was done with an R4??? C'mon, Eric! This is really ridiculous, to claim
that he was a "Leica photographer." It's just not true.

With major artists in any media, we need to look at the evidence of the
work first. Eisenstadt was a devoted 35mm photographer. Winogrand,
Cartier-Bresson, Ernst Haas, Rodchenko, Ralph Gibson, the list goes on
and on. Ansel Adams was NOT a "devoted" 35mm photographer by ANY stretch
of the meaning of the word.
