I have liked the NY Times' obit the best, as it seems to give some feeling for the man. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/04/arts/04CND-CARTIER.html?th I know that HCB had given up photography for some time in favor of painting and drawing; but I can't help feeling that the world is a poorer place without his sensibility floating around in it. It will be no surprise to this group that I greatly admired his ability excerpt the static image from a flow of events; I suspect that for many here, seeing his images had the effect of a spur to get out there and record life. best regards, Ben Marks
