Glad you enjoyed it - quite a work history that man has, and to think that he began with the natural disadvantage of but a single, working eye. As he sometimes mentions, though, for him it seems normal. That leads me to wondering whether being born colour blind might be an advantage to a photographer specializing in black/white...

If you just let it run, without going into the different sections, you get an amazing display of one man's camera pyrotechnics at a very superior level.

At any rate, that's how it opens on the 'Pad.

I'm similarly impressed, Rob.  Truly amazing.

So I finally watched this, ironically because of a review on another web-site of the Annie Leibowitz "Master Class". The writer pointed out that Watson provided much more information than Leibowitz at the small cost of watching some close ups of the lighting generators.

In fact it's superb...
