[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Geoff, I have four of Doug's prints, not just one or two - I also have prints by John Shaw, Art Wolfe, Andy Rouse, and any number from my pro and semi-pro wildlife photographing friends in India. I cannot make out, for example, that Doug shoots Leica, John Shaw shoots Nikon and Art Wolfe shoots Canon by looking at the prints. In fact I can see very little technical difference between them. Must be my eyesight, which admittedly is not improving with age!
