Who took that famous picture of ...

...someone holding a rangefinder to their face. It looks as though the lens and external viewfinder are the person's eyes.
Many a avatar is modeld after it.

Thanks

I was looking through "The Photo Book" for it and failed to get lucky.
Who taught that guy to hold a camera that way?

You see..."Stock" was the name of the guy who's IN the picture. That makes it a "Stock" photo.

Thats great Steve....but don't change your avator over it. I love your avator. Every time I see it it gives off a warmth that touches my heart. Magical to say the least. Hope I don't sound like a weirdo...but isn't that what a good photograph is susposed to do?🙂


Thanks Joe for the link: Gallery M looks like fasinating viewing:Added to favorites.

Wow...thanks. Now I feel bad 'cause I just changed it and I can't find that other file.
Glad you like it though.

Ok, I found it...you're right, that look on my boy's face is priceless.

FWIW, I have Dennis Stock's book "Made in USA". I really like some of his work. Worth a look if you ever happen to come across it.
