"Like" as the younger generations say ;-) Lluis is different I think, at least he never organizes things from what I have witnessed. In addition, he's invisible for one, http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/The+Cape+of+Invisibilty-1020072.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Les+Gens/Kiss+with+invisible+cloak.jpg.html and has terrific (Summer) anticipation skills ;-) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Barcelona+2009_001/Lluis+Philippe+-+Au+Lug-241229.jpg.html Amiti?s de Mutz Philippe Tous vos emails en 1 clic avec l'application SFR Mail sur iPhone et Android. ======================================== Message du : 14/04/2012 04:02 De : tedgrant at shaw.ca A : "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Copie ? : Sujet : Re: [Leica] Doisneau Marty Deveney OFFERED:" Subject: [Leica] Doisneau > Robert Doisneau would have been 100 today: > > http://www.google.com.au/logos/2012/doisneau12-hp.jpg > > http://www.google.com.au/search?q=Robert+Doisneau&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=tDiIT5v_OoXXrQeytfSiCw&ved=0CEIQsAQ&biw=1341&bih=549 > > I met him a couple of times.

And once again to prove to myself I wasn't wrong, I have just gone through a book entitled: ROBERT DOISNEAU 1912-1994 by Jean-Claude Gautrand A marvelous book that is alive with Doisneau photographs and I have gone back and forth three times. A sort of enjoyment moment of appreciating the very fine ability of capturing life with a camera! If I were to draw a parallel of today and Robert Doisneau I would have to say our own LUG member Lluis Ripoll is as close as they come. His people, moments and observation are almost faultless. I have raised a couple of red glasses in the honour of DOISNEAU's 100th birthday! :-) Unfortunately one can't say "and have many more!" But we can say... "He was a damn fine photojournalist of people in real life on the street!" Those I didn't include as equals to DOISNEAU please take no offence. It's simply a one person opinion and we are always full of multi opinions as that's what keeps the LUG alive and exciting! "WE THE PHOTOGRAPHERS" and our choices. cheers, Dr. ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
