     >so he didn't have to work for a living).

     on the subject of H C-B, was it he who was once asked how he got into
     photography and his response was (paraphrasing)
     "...it happened much the same way as a woman gets into prostitution.
     first you do it for fun, then you do it for your friends and
     eventually you do it for money".
     ...or am i confusing this statement with someone else ? lartigue ?
