Peppering each photographer with questions every step of the way on every shoot. Horst P Horst said, and it wasn't in this book that (to the effect) when asked about what it was like shooting when he was peaking in his career: "We didn't have models like Janice Dickenson". It wasn't the difference between shooting Vogue layouts on 8x10 inch Kodachrome tungsten sheetfilm or a Hasselblad with Brownie rollfilm. I think that says it all. Anyway the caption of the picture on the page I just turned, a blasted headshot of Janice herself looking (late at night and very busy) was: "Figuring out how to work the Leica timer". This had mystified me as I didn't think Leica made timers as I've got all the little skinny collection books. But now I think I know. The one on the camera dummy. It kind of went off early. You get the best shots that way. My best shots are when my camera goes off by itself. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
