If the display photos mirror half their power as in the book it must be an incredible exhibition. I don't know if Davidson was using Leica at the time but the technique and style certainly represent those street photographing qualities that a Leica lends itself to. Several things strike me about the images. These include that many of the photos are not sharp but have tremendous power regardless. Second, that Mr. Davidson was working in some extremes of low-lighting and was able to achieve dramatic photos with equipment that was stone-age back in 1959 compared to what is available today. Something to think about. Carl Socolow "Ting F. Lee" wrote: > Any one coming to NYC shouldn't miss Bruce Davidson's exhibit at the ICP > uptown > > Happy New Year to all > > all the best, > Ting
