Thanks very much, Joe. In my first trial I could not use that link, and goggled "Helen Levitt"; plenty of marvelous b&w photos. It's material for studying. Best regards,

Eduardo

Interesting, I did a bit of searching around to find her images.

Some good b&w stuff, but I have to say the colour ones just don't have the same impact for me.
