can I have your

Steve,
You have made a very valid point for HCB. However, he retired from
active photography in 1968. IN fact he has reject photography. So why the
need for anonymity?
Personally, I think it part of his "anarchist" philosophy of life.
Kyle,
Point taken, LeGrande Hank did and does refuse to sign prints from the
Magnum files. Those prints were quickly and made primarily for reproduction.
They are not quality prints.
