I love hearing about press photographers who take a different approach to storytelling. There's an oppressive pack mentality at a lot of events I cover - as somebody else said, 16-35, 70-200, fill flash and 8 fps. No wonder events coverage is so homogenous these days. Bravo to Burnett for having the gumption (and the luxury) to report on current affairs in a different way. There's an interesting (and funny) rumination on digitaljournalist.org about an emerging hierarchy among photojournalists - one that puts film-users in the upper echelon. Check it out: www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0402/colburn.html Maybe I should forget about the new EOS 1D MkII and get that fetishized 24/2.8 ASPH I've been dreaming of... ... and eat rice and beans for the rest of my life.
