I met him about a month ago.
He did a seminar in Melbourne - spoke for three hours straight and no-one went 
to the toilet.
Great character. He was involved in the napalm girl shot in Vietnam - another 
photog got the key shot but the whole story was remararkable.
He uses a Speed Graphic with an Aero Ektar and a superb Schneider - both aerial 
lenses. It looks crazy to see a shot of him with it on a tripod at the last 
royal wedding - surround by guys with 800mm lenses.
