The one aspect of the program that i particularly enjoy is how easily one
can see the benefit of a 'big' negative. When they zoom in on those
photos taken with 6x6 or 4x5 press cameras, you can REALLY see what was
happening. I don't think i'll be trying to shoot basketball with a speed
graphic any time soon though...

Yes, a very very good show, but a bit slow moving. And the one thing that
sticks after seeing the program (from a technique point of view) was that
in several instances- the boxing photos one example- the photog's skill or
experience had little to do with several famous shots. What mattered more
was luck, (like the battered boxer falling right in front of a
photographer's face), and the spot he was assigned to stand in during the
fight, which had to do with the 'seniority' of both him and his newspaper
or magazine.
