Yeah, he was rubbish. Never produced a good shot in his life :-)
Incidentally the big HCB exhibition that started in Paris a couple of
years ago is in Edinburgh here in the UK.

Actually the worst shot I have even seen by a 'name' was Ansel Adams'
photograph of Jimmy Carter. If I remember it was taken on a 20" x 16"
colour Polaroid. Horrible, horrible skin tones. He should have put it in
the bin and walked away. So sometimes it's best to stick to what you
know.

Except HCB of course, or have we all forgotten him already? ;>)
