After hearing so much about him on this list his work is pedestrian at best remedial at worst. It looks like he stumbled into a room weighted down by four Leica's and snapped a picture. Annie Leibovitz and Mary Ellen Mark shooting similar subject during the same period run circles around this guy. For some one that carries his camera around with him all the time, he is yet to capture anything worth printing. I hope you folks dont think me to cruel but look at some of the web sites of luggers and compare their work to Marshalls. I would say a majority of you would be able to out shoot him anytime. This is not to put down lugger just to point out how much better your work is. Jim should donate his camera to a high school photography to help out the upcoming talent in stead of wasting his Leica's in his hands. mg ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
