Firstly, most of HCB's iconic images were made during the 1930s-1950s, at a 
time when both lens and film technology was much inferior to 1976. Secondly, 
his images are street scenes, whereas what we are looking at here  is a 
portrait in an office. In the former, I will accept a lot more technical 
imperfections than in the latter.

I have been to several HCB exhibitions and have enjoyed them, no problem.
