Subject: Leica photos in Paris...

An invitation to visit the FNAC Gallery in Layalle (spelling?) Paris where there
will be shown an exhibit of Ben Fernandez's work on protest (from a book by the
same name).  There will be a gallery talk on Feb. 26 at 5:00pm by Ben.  The
code-word to acknowledge to Ben that you saw this invitation is "Vladimir"...if
you can make it and would like to see an American photographer loose it
completely, this is your chance.

Ben is formerly chairman of the Photography department at the New School in New
York City. He gained national attention with his work on protest in the 60's and
70's, he is now working on a project entitled "The Power of the Image as a
Political Tool".  All the images were made with Leica cameras.  

For those reading this in the Paris area, this is a chance to see VERY powerful
work.

Enjoy.
