It's true, you see that Karsh lighting and don't necessarily see through it too well to the person photographed; by contrast, even though she tends to be quite consistent in her lighting, lens and perspective choice, in the work of Jane Bown it's almost always the subject who comes through, not her. That's why she's so good. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
