Obviously we disagree BD. By offering his opinion on Alfie Wang's
photography and sending it to a group of photographers for nothing, BD is
open to criticism as Eugene Smith or Cartier-Bresson - who, by the way I
strongly suspect he compares himself to.

BD offered his "criticism" to the LUG, not off-list to Alfie.  Therefore
this is the proper place to respond to that offer.  I do not think we do him
any favours by continuing to encourage this nonsense.

BD.  I have my opinion on Alfie's photography and I have my opinion on
yours.  They differ only in degree;  you have not the skill to be so
dismissive.
