Photographer Henryk Ross and his Lodz Ghetto book. Anyone who thinks of themselves as a "street shooter" needs a copy. Hate the term (ugh, forgive me for saying it again) "street shooter". Every time someone says (arrghh) those words I can envision nasty little men in overcoats hanging around grammar schools. In the days before every mother's son was tromping around the world with a Leica one could be a legitimate (yeow, oh hell,yep) "street shooter". Henri did it and he was OK in my book. Now it would seem much more important to document with a certain respect for human grace. Walt
