[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I was just in Keeble and Shuchat Photography in Palo Alto, at the used-camera counter, buying my 13-year-old daughter her first non-P&S camera, and I heard one of the staff say "Hi, Jim". I looked up and boldly asked "Are you by any chance Jim Brick?" He smiled and said yes. So I just met Jim Brick. And, I suppose, by symmetry, Jim Brick just met me. There were at least 30 Leicas within 10 feet of us, so I suppose that makes it OK to report here. He is much quieter and twinkly-of-eye than I had imagined. Like me, he has white hair. But I'm a lot more, um, rotund than he is. (PS I bought my daughter a Nikon FM with a brand-X 28-70 F/4 zoom.)
