HCB"s Decisive Moment online

[jan normandale]

I find it interesting how HCB is / was seen by other photographers. There is an infamous pool on Flickr called "delete me" the concept is you put a shot into the pool and ten 'qualified' photographers review the photograph and comment then say yes or no to being deleted from the pool.... you guessed it. A set up. Someone put on of HCB's more famous shots into the pool. It was deleted.. the fun started aftewards!

Here's the link to the whole event. http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrerabelo/70458366/

Nice link Jan, The silliness of it all is exausting. When it comes to photography as art it just boils down to what one likes or dislikes, Its a considerably personal matter. Me? I like old school style black and white documentary photojournalism and large format black and white studio portraits.
