	I do know that Cartier-Bresson has largely given up photography for
drawing (I wish I had the same reflexes that I had in my 20's,too), and =
I
have seen a book of his sketches.  He will never be as good at drawing =
as he
was at photography, but then, I'll never be as good at anything as he =
was at
photography.Thanks for the information, I'll look for this one. =20
