I suspect they feel that HCB deserted them for other places when he joined Magnum and had the opportunity, whereas Doissneau and Ronis stayed true to France. Whilst I am a great lover of HCB's work and regard him with awe, I have empathy with the French thinking on this. Gerry Gerry Walden (UK) Tel: (0)23 8046 3076 Fax: (0)23 8034 8542
