[LRflex] Re: Heros

Great Post! Thanks David once more.
Marvellous photos indeed Ted.
And what a life! Stuns me!

My favourite? none! Everyone's outstanding!
Well, perhaps that one with officials being witnesses to a crash - it 
does, as the other ones, tell us a story about what human life and 
condition are; but there's also that young guy in the third or fourth 
row - younger Ted's double? - the only one looking straight into the 
camera's eye, and who sort of winks at us  "Hey guys, I'm here, what are 
you doing there watching us? Got it wrong guys! YOU are the curiosity 
here, not me" - Mad Magazine like - kinda me worry you know? Who's 
watching whom? Troubling.  What are we all doing here, etc. Ted, on that 
day you shot an amazingly good double mirrored snap which shows the very 
essence of what photography is about: bearing testimony and questionning 
our existence; nearly the unicorn. I'm left without words now.

Thanks for sharing your treasures.
Can't wait for more.

Respectfully yours.
