Peter,

I?m totally agree with your comment, I had the privilege to meet him with a 
group of photographers when he came to Barcelona to pay tribute to his 
friend Joan Guerrero, a great person and catalan photographer who has passed 
away a few days ago. His speech was a lesson in humanity that we should all 
remember, unforgettable.

Cheers
Lluis
