Sorry if this whole business is long dead; I'm an guy who occasionally 
peruses the goings-on in digest mode.

Although not a NY LUGger I saw the show (in fact I called you before heading 
over to see the stuff; we talked later that same day.)  My recollections 
regarding that image are that they showed a print that included an 
out-of-fucus post running up the length of the left-hand side of the frame 
(I think it was on that shot) which was claimed to be an on-site 
compositional aid intended to serve as a cropping guide.  Hard to imagine 
getting that anal with that winky little non-parallax-corrected viewfinder 
(I s'ppose the external one has that little distance-tilt cam but still....)

Regarding the issue of how much he influenced many of his subjects I bought 
an HCB print out of the Magnum archives of a shot taken soon after a more 
famous view of children playing by the Berlin Wall (1963 maybe?); I've had a 
good time bringing out the two images in front of some photographers (I 
remember one evening in particular over at Richard Wasserman's when Tom 
Abrahamson was there).

If anyone's interested I'll make and post some copies later this week.
