Never a good idea to be too quick to judge Jan. I wouldn't judge a photographer's talent by what an ART DIRECTOR chooses to run in a mag!

At the photo shoot was the Confente with the black anodized Campagnolo Super Record, the '60 Masi Special, and the '55 Gillott Road/Track. Lots of amazing detail shots and beautiful composition. No, I must rephrase that... sublime composition!

The mag used ONE shot!

Now you got me wondering what you say about me behind my back... ;-))
