The Magnificent Seven.

I found an interesting piece over on Whats The Jackanory blog regarding Rankin's Magnificent Seven (which is something I thought was just an urban myth) and therefore will shamelessly avoid any kind of effort and send you there..
A pointless exercise but quite interesting none the less although I found it odd that Rankin goes on about how people used film long ago (its not been that long since fashion photographers switched, is it..) In fact its all he goes on about, however he does say a great line while trying to recreate a Herb Ritts image;
"With digital you shoot and shoot until you get it. But with film its like capturing the moment."
That my friends stops me thinking anyone who goes by one name may not be so bad after all.
