[Leica] IMG: Pronghorn

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

We often joke about this on the list but it actually illustrates just how
well these two photographers work in their genre.

 Anyone that has walked in Barcelona with Lluis will attest to how skilled,
fast and unobtrusive he is with his street work.

On the other side of the world we know that Doug is often actually seen by
the animals (he's told us that you really cannot hide) but very often
spends hours if not multiple days being in the subject's environment so
that they accept him as non-threatening. He is also of course a master of
his chosen equipment.

Maybe those skill-set descriptions fit both men equally well.

Cheers,
Geoff
