He does it by heavy inference instead and no, he doesn't care much for media stills people and he has let _his police department know that. His show is currently running at the Leica gallery and I asked him just yesterday (Saturday) if he'd used a Leica for all of his photography (He told me that he did use a Nikon FE for much of what he's done. He left me with the impression that Leica had given him an M camera fairly recently, though he didn't say that specifically). In terms of competition, Rudy hates it, any which way it comes. Speaking with him is always funny as he's so much like he is on TV, in person, that you walk away feeling like you'ld just had a distinct conversation _with your TV. I suppose Clinton is like that as well (Though I've never spoken with Clinton ). Danny Gonzalez
