A lot of them do look pretty ordinary. I have several little books put out by Magnum with portraits of various famous people (writers, movie stars). HCB has a few in each (including some of the same ones shown on the Web site). However, his are no better or worse than the others. There are many very good portraits, and most of the best are not HCB's work (but as I said, he is only represented by a few images). I don't know how many of them use Leicas (does or did everyone at Magnum use Leicas?). -- Anthony
