    Hey Lee,

    Your work with shots like this is simply fantastic. This picture does great justice to a man who was one of the greatest coach builder/designers ever. As a Frenchman, his proclivity was to the sensuous side of design and he is responsible for the looks of some of the most strikingly beautiful cars ever produced.

    You can see his influence in such hallmark cars as the Delahaye, Talbot, and Delage......cars of unparalleled beauty. In his later years, he did some profound design work with the Citroen make of cars. He was a man at the pinnacle of his profession.

    This picture here, Lee, should be on your wall.

    Take care my friend,

    Tom

    Thank you, gentlemen, for the very kind words. I enjoy automotive photography and wish to someday shoot them in a studio.

    By the way, my favorite studio automotive photographers are Michael Furman and Ron Kimball.
