I continue to enjoy his images and I am inspired by the simplicity. For those of us who work as photographers we have a habit of going on assignments with bags full of bodies and lenses along with flash units and other accessories. He traveled the world with a leica and a couple of lenses. I remember a few years ago showing up in Toronto at the CBC Broadcast Centre to shoot for the New York Times with a Leica M6 and a couple of lenses. The first question by the CBC producers was where is your equipment. The first question by the NY Times was where is all the film after I sent them two rolls. After editing a number of selections with one used on page four of the International Page. HCB keep on going! And I look forward to looking at his new book.
