Well, he did have a point with that.
But photographing a landscape in the US is a socio/political statement  
to begin with, Teddy so to that.
Flap his side-walk cafe coffee sipping lips all he wants, HCB was no

by colonialism. Of which HCB participated in, profited from, and never  
formally renounced.
