Michael,
I did not know Brett personally. I was using information I read in *A
Restless Eye*, by John Woods; published by Erica Weston. My personal
approach is that if it needs spotting it's not leaving the studio. I have
never been able to do it well (to my satisfaction); and I have not found
anyone whom I could count on to do it for me.
Thanks for providing another insight into the man and the photographer.
