Often repetitive, mundane activities that can be beautiful and speak more of my life than HCB and the others we have been speaking of. I prefer to look at images that surround me rather than something "exotic" like Salgado's - although I do love his work and HCB's. I just wanted to bring these others into the conversation, as they have as yet been ignored, although two of the best Leica users IMHO. My fav Winogrand anecdote is: he would make exposures at his house, having an enlarger but no full darkroom, and fill up a box of exposed paper, then develop them when he arrived at univ to teach. Talk about knowing your shooting methods. Somehow I think many on this list wont like their work? Hope this bias in my mind isnt true though :-) Greg
