[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My guess - and I stress guess - is that the only three that belong on the list are Che, Armstrong, and earth rise...and actually, now that I think about it, the space shot that's probably gotten the most mileage is the "big blue marble" photo of earth from space.... I think those of us who appreciate photography tend to think that what we consider iconic images are among the most viewed images, and I don't think that that's the case. I know that the world's best selling photo books are those by the Australian woman who shoots kids as vegetables...... ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Peter Dzwig Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 4:43 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Now most reproduced image was "Che Guevara" booklet PDF Funnily enough the Kiss at the Hotel de Ville was among my list, but it really all depends on what you mean by reproduced. My guesses: Che - in all its forms Armstrong on the Moon Earth rise over the moon Picnic by the Marne - HCB Ile de la Cite - HCB The last waltz - Doisneau Kiss at the H-de-V interesting - two HCBs, two by Doisneau Peter B.
