Or vice versa. I'm reminded of a relatively early winner of a Pulitzer Prize in news photography - a shot of a tractor trailer dangling off a high bridge. It was taken by an "amateur" using a box Brownie - literally, and is one of the great examples of "f 8 and be there." Is it great "photographically," when all the rules and standards are applied? Hell no! But it's an incredible shot. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 4:46 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Speaking of Street Photography Quite - but what is good photography? I think the point is that a bad "art" photo could be good journalism, for example.
