I was mildly amused by the bit in part 1 where it was revealed that
Andre Kertesz visited this little town in France, took some
nondescript snapshots then went back a few days later and took some
much better ones.  Reminded me a bit of an artist's preliminary
sketches.  It's all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking that
the Great Photographers get a perfect shot, instinctively, every time
they press the shutter release.  This does not, of course, devalue
Kertesz's work or vision in any way., but gives the rest of us a
little hope.
