It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

And wouldn't we all like to still be collecting royalties on a 30+ year old photo!

Well actually Kris I'd sooner have the strength to battle cancer for 10 years and or course the chance to photograph an 18 year olds bum
Hats off to the man though, as John says, an iconic image.

Tennis Girl poster photographer dies
The photographer behind Tennis Girl, one of the world's biggest-selling posters, has died at the age of 63.
Martin Elliott took his most famous shot in 1976 of his then girlfriend dressed in tennis gear, hitching her skirt to reveal a bare bottom.
Ahh, happy days.
