Hi Douglas,

I agree, the first one is my favorite. About the tripod it is difficult to 
use it when shooting ?sur le vif?, if I can choose to catch the moment or 
the perfection, I prefer catch the moment. I think that you and many of our 
friends agree the sentence of HCB ?Sharpness is a bourgeois concept?. The 
Fondation HCB has published a fantastic book with all the interviews to HCB, 
I have already purchased it in French ?Puis-je garder quelques secrets??.

Cheers
Lluis
