To answer your question, I must rely on a lifetime of experience from being around photographers. Over the years, I don't think that I have ever known a photographer who was at ease IN FRONT OF A LIVE CAMERA. Most, if not all, that I have known much prefer being behind, alongside, anywhere but in front of the camera. Maybe HCB was like all the rest. He was uncomfortable in front of a camera. May they all are frightened of their subjects, I know I am...............Regards!

Since this thread has been resurrected, I can't believe I didn't post this earlier (maybe I couldn't find the file).

L to R: me. Matt Magruder (scootermm), Mike Castles (photomc), the late Lee Carmichael, and Jeremy Moore (kneeling). Photo taken in 2007.
