Too afraid of unauthorized reproduction -- which has already happened here -- beats me how this Italian website got this slice of my photo: http://www22.mondadori.com/panorama/archivio/14_05_1999/area_2/2224_1.html So all I have is a bunch of photos published in at least 15 different newspapers and magazines in, I guess 5-6 different countries, plus more in numerous books etc. These are on newspaper websites, for ex., unfortunately just b&w versions of colour originals: http://www.canada.com/montreal/montrealgazette/archives/story.asp http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=64828&contrassID=2&subCont rassID=16&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y Then there was that slide show I gave as guest speaker at the LHSA 1997 annual meeting in Charlotte. N.C. I thought you were there? But e-mail me your postal address and I'll be happy to send along some published colour work from the Arctic and the Arabian deserts, Mark, filtered and unhooded and flare-free. The other point about coddling vs. smashing and bashing: I've always put those photogs who point to their abused professional tools as a mark of achievement in the same camp as those writers who wear their alcoholism as a sign of literary arrival. Your neighbourhood auto mechanic and your favourite dentist know better. Emanuel Lowi Montreal - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
