The other night I prepared a wonderful dinner. My guests were very happy and enjoyed the meal. They asked about the recipe and how I learned to cook. Why I use so little salt. How I picked contrasts in herbs, spices and vegtable and fruit flavours. They didn't ask about the brand of oven or utensils. Like all great photogs he doesn't talk much about gear, he talks about his experiences, feeling, approach, problems, frustrations, danger and rare moments where everything came together because of long hours, days, weeks and months of toil coupled to personal risk and sacrifice.

Those who excel in his field aren't generally shy people with low self-esteem.

That��s a strange analogy. The lens and the film are certainly a part of the overall recipe. I suppose if McCurry had snapped The Afghan Girl with a ��70s era Polaroid, it still would have made the cover of national Geographic. Instead of saying, ��I don��t know�� you tell the man it doesn��t matter. Well, it does and I am certain that Mr. McCurry has his favorite film stocks, lenses and camera bodies and would be willing to tell you why if asked. PZ www.imagequest.ifp3.com |
