For Cartier Bresson, Mitrovic would make long tonal scale prints and for Koudelka the prints had more contrast so sometimes I would ask David if this image had to be a Cartier Bresson or a Koudelka. I can still remember David laughing and saying, \u201cA wee bit of both and not too dark.\u201d We had lots of laughs often remembering the moment when he had made certain images. His photography was often humorous and always compassionate. <em>Robert Burns<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Printed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robertburnsphotography.co.uk\/\" title=\"Robert Burns Photography\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Burns<\/a> the exhibition is in two parts. <em>An Eye on the Street<\/em> displays works made in late 1960s Glasgow and <em>An Eye on the World<\/em> shows a selection of themed street shots from around the globe.
