I guess this one's for me Richard, thanks.
However, this guy's prose remains mostly tautological old gobbledycook  
to me. I quote:

"I explained that epic results are the fruit of ongoing practice. ?The  
more you shoot,? I told him ?the more often you?ll make an epic  
photograph.?

What are we supposed to understand of so called Epic photography with  
that I wonder.

Trying hard but so far fairly unsuccessful Philippe - not the  
screwdriver ;-)
