By the way, if you read my response, I only said that I preferred Alfies. I have not slammed BR's or anyone's photography, Not my way. Wait. I did suggest to a guy named George two years ago that his photography was not worthy of the equipment he was bragging about. He thought he was famous. He thought since that he had spent a fortune on Leica gear that he was good. He was posting nothing pictures, and when I suggested he include the owner of the pick up truck he photographed, he made a regionally derisive remark. Another posting of his was blatantly racist. (a black man in a bakery.) I objected, and he made light of it. I did slam him, because, contrary to some opinion, most of us southerners are not racist, and I stood up to him. Speaking of the Kingfisher, I think it was you who said I was not having fun with my photography.
