There are many things attributed to HCB that did not hold water but it still
does not change he was a master. Your "not cropping" reference was one, but
the most shocking to his legend comes from people he worked with at UT when
he was contributing to the book on Galveston where allegedly he restaged
people walking the streets until the "decisive moment" occurred. Throws a
different slant on how the moment is defined.
