I guess it was also HC-B's view - the defining moment. I'm just delighted when I get a results from one of my 'impatient' 2-3 shot excursions. In your main job I would imagine you do have to undertake 'set-ups', but I'll bet some of your favourite/best images were spontaneous.<br><br>fjs Good point, John.

For me the difference is between Image making or image recording. Brassai captured the fleeting moment or did he? Some of his work looks spontaneous but the lighting is often "too good" Was it staged? I suppose it doesn't matter that much as there were inherent truths there. In any shoot (no matter how many shots) there are only a few which are perfect so could Brassai just shot a few frames and get something brilliant? Maybe he was a genius afterall. For me the transitory image is everything. That split second slice of life that plays out in front of you, to be caught and immortalised, you only get one shot at that.
