The foreman of the quartet, Lieut. Leonard Berman, of New York City, a former advertising man, has been mixed up in photography professionally and amateurly for 15 years, and feels qualified to comment. “The subjects are all practically identical,” he says. “A guy stands up against some historic background and his friend snaps a picture of him —London Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus. Or in the park, or kissing a girl. Or around an airplane—A guy will start at one end of a plane and move along it, having his picture taken at half a dozen different places on it.” The general fault in the pictures is underexposure, he says. “They don’t realise in daylight averages only about half as bright here as it docs in the United States.”
