Never produced a good shot in his life :-) Incidentally the big HCB exhibition that started in Paris a couple of years ago is in Edinburgh here in the UK. Actually the worst shot I have even seen by a 'name' was Ansel Adams' photograph of Jimmy Carter. If I remember it was taken on a 20" x 16" colour Polaroid. Horrible, horrible skin tones. He should have put it in the bin and walked away. So sometimes it's best to stick to what you know.
