Only if you like exposures that make it impossible to tell what's in large areas of the frame. This thing is a joke - it looks like some bad art school project. It's supposed to be a documentary about the dogs - yet other than showing me that they roam free, it really doesn't tell a story at all. Now Martin Parr is another matter all together - there's someone with a consistent, beautifully executed, unique, zany, vision, capturing universal foibles and inanities. If you posted that as your PAW, Feli, I'd say "holy shit, Feli, where have you been hiding this stuff?!! It's spectacular!" :-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Feli di Giorgio Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 8:16 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Feli and Magnum Mag...

You can see a consistent style from shot to shot, like he intended to shoot the project with a certain effect in mind. http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/CDocZ_MAG.aspx?Stat=DocThumb_DocZoom&o =&DT=ALB&E=29YL53ZJBIEZ&Pass=&Total=104&Pic=1&SubE=29YL53ZKONE7 http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/CDocZ_MAG.aspx?Stat=DocThumb_DocZoom&o =&DT=ALB&E=29YL53ZJBIEZ&Pass=&Total=104&Pic=3&SubE=29YL53ZKY4T5 http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/CDocZ_MAG.aspx?Stat=DocThumb_DocZoom&o =&DT=ALB&E=29YL53ZJBIEZ&Pass=&Total=104&Pic=35&SubE=29YL53ZKO8KO http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/CDocZ_MAG.aspx?Stat=DocThumb_DocZoom&o =&DT=ALB&E=29YL53ZJBIEZ&Pass=&Total=104&Pic=7&SubE=29YL535SGSGS http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/CDocZ_MAG.aspx?Stat=DocThumb_DocZoom&o =&DT=ALB&E=29YL53ZJBIEZ&Pass=&Total=104&Pic=10&SubE=29YL53ZKZHXB Martin Parr and Mike Power are the two of the guys I don't get I mean look at this. If I posted this as my PAW I would be skinned alive. http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/FramerT_MAG.aspx?Stat=Portfolio_DocThu mb&V=CDocT&E=2TYRYDOU04JI&DT=ALB http://www.magnumphotos.com/c/htm/FramerT_MAG.aspx?Stat=Portfolio_DocThu mb&V=CDocT&E=29YL53G7RT3&DT=ALB FEli _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
