AFAIK Doisneau have organized not all of his pictures, just someones, as the serie of the Bride or the many times discussion "Le Baiser ? l'Hotel de Ville". Can I compare if a trapeze artist jumps with or without protection, the fact, the image is the same and on this case I think that even if some of his images was prepared he had the good taste to create these situations. amiti?s Lluis El 14/04/2012, a las 11:21, philippe.amard at sfr.fr escribi?: > Ted, > > > I think Doisneau organised his shoots more than others ..., > but the results look so natural, > that's IMHO a large part of his skill. > > > "Like" as the younger generations say ;-) > > > Lluis is different I think, at least he never organizes things from > what I have witnessed. > > > In addition, he's invisible for one, > > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/The+Cape+of+Invisibilty-1020072.jpg.html > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/Kiss+with+invisible+cloak.jpg.html > > > and has terrific (Summer) anticipation skills ;-) > > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Barcelona+2009_001/Lluis+Philippe+-+Au+Lug-241229.jpg.html > > > > > Amiti?s de Mutz > Philippe > > > Tous vos emails en 1 clic avec l'application SFR Mail sur iPhone et > Android. > > > ======================================== > > Message du : 14/04/2012 04:02 > De : tedgrant at shaw.ca > A : "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> > Copie ? : > Sujet : Re: [Leica] Doisneau > > > Marty Deveney OFFERED:" > Subject: [Leica] Doisneau > > >> Robert Doisneau would have been 100 today: >> >> http://www.google.com.au/logos/2012/doisneau12-hp.jpg >> >> http://www.google.com.au/search?q=Robert+Doisneau&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=tDiIT5v_OoXXrQeytfSiCw&ved=0CEIQsAQ&biw=1341&bih=549 >> >> I met him a couple of times.
