If you haven't > looked at it recently it is worth a look-see. > It is his coverage of the 1968 political conventions and it is GREAT. > If you want to see how to cover conventiions this is it. This book is > great reportage.<< A side note to this coverage : Everyday DDD made a selection of frames to be printed to 11 X 14 and made ready to used by one of the major US TV networks covering the convention. I believe he was on air with a running dialogue for each photo, not photo details, but about the people in the pictures and convention itself. I've tried to use this technique with a couple Canadian TV networks, unfortunately they're not bright enough to understand the attention holding value of still photographs. ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
