It wasn't just the 'optics'. They screwed up everything about it. They didn't have a replacement. They didn't have a transition period. They didn't have a clue how much work Victoria was doing. They didn't

A question that's been on my mind all day after I read this column: Do you think this type/quality of photography work is possible to attain such fame now? The proliferation of cameras in the time since the mid-20th century has b
