SavageduckI think its fair to say he was best known for his subjects rather than his photography. --

The idea that a top line architect wouldn't/shouldn't have an understanding of what he can an cannot do with the tools at his disposal.
that's not what i said.
obviously they need to know how to *use* their tools.
what they don't need is how to *make* the tools, i.e., how to program a computer.
Somehow I think you guys have been using the wrong analogies for a photo NG. Forget about the racecar driver & architect, how about the owner of any digital camera, compact, or DSLR? Do they need to have a knowledge of how to operate a computer to shoot photographs with their digital camera?
no they do not, nor did film users need to know how to process their own film.
many people know how to use a computer and some did their own darkroom work, but it is not a requirement to use a camera.
But knowing what can be done in the dark room is an essential part of the skills of a top photographer.
Should Robert Capa, then not have been considered a "top photographer"?
He had an instinct for dram and how light affects the image.
He had a talent for being where the action was and documenting that action in whatever light was available. He wasn't able to wait around for suitable light for an art shot. He wasn't particularly interested in producing art and that was what killed him in Viet Nam.
Not much planning or pre-visualizing here, and he did none of his own developing and printing. He was a photographer, pure and simple. He provided his agency with rolls of exposed film. < http://barbarapicci.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/robert-capa-2.jpg?w=1200&h= > < http://barbarapicci.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/robert-capa-10.jpg >
