fear
and just shoot it!" attitude<<<


Ted,
Hearty amen to that. One of my favorite pictures is one taken of the
late Erich Hartmann of Magnum (a lovely fellow) by his son Nick. It
shows Eric at a dining table illuminated by a single candle. Nick took
the picture with his M6 and 50mm Summicron wide open.

Who needs twinkie lights???

But then I'm guessing--just guessing, mind you--that Johnny Deadman
didn't do all that excellent street shooting with a tripod, either...<g>
(I know, I know, "shut up, Mike.")
