Baloney. Magazines have standards, and are not impressed like amateurs are with big names in photography. Epoca hires the best in the world, among them numerous Magnum photographers. HCB knows that. And he has standards as to what he would offer them. Photographers are only as good as their last assignment. And if they doesn't produce, they don't get hired the next time. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
