Which is to say - there's no reason to expect that a good photographer will be a good writer. For an example of this, take a look at Larry Towle's Mennonites - great photos; awful prose - although the reporting is pretty good. B.

FWIW, its a good thing Don McCullin took wonderful pictures as his writing is hard to digest. ................................................... w a d e h e n i n g e r i n t e r a c t i o n d e s i g n a d o b e s y s t e m s , i n c . - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
