And I have to say, having seen some of the work somewhere - can't remember where - there's nothing particularly outstanding about it; it's solid, if not inspired, pj work. What it has going for it is the gimmick. ;-) Don't forget, one can shoot for "revealing moments through a minimal number of exposures" with any camera, though I don't see how shooting a minimal number of exposures is more likely to capture revealing moments.

(No Leica content) Yes. I recently read about the political campaign photographer who has gone full-bore contrairian. Rather than capture hundreds of digital images, he shoots for revealing moments through a minimal number of exposures. What a concept. -Chris Lawson bdcolen@earthlink.net writes: Are you referring to the Speed Graphic sitting on the tripod? -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of MCyclWritr@aol.com Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 11:20 AM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Check out April 5 Newsweek. (No Leica content) Okay, retrophilia addicts, there's a two-page photo that begins "The Insider," page 20 in the edition mailed to Denver. What camera do you see standing above all others in the puddle of photogs? BONUS observation: There's a conclusion one might draw from the photo, but, to do so would marginalize the journalistic credentials of the female professional photographers on the list who are not fat, or grey, or bald. -Chris Lawson _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
