You never saw the photographer, and he did not comment on any contact sheet. At times you could hear his voice from some old interview mumbling in the background, but overlaid by the voice of a french woman talking in that arty kind of a voice some women use when they recite poems. I am all for subtitles, like we both know them from Swedish cinemas and TV. The title 'contact sheet' obviously was used as title because a great numer of (sometimes small) photos were shown at terrific speed. Anyway, I'll get you the address on where to buy the DVDs when I watch the next program, if I watch it. Otherwise try arte's website, I have not got the URL but it should be arte.com or arte-tv.com or something similar. I will also get you the ordering adress for those tapes where photographes do comment on their contact sheet if you want me to. But these are French tapes, and as such unlikely to be bilingual. It be a week or so before I can get it. How is your car? Do you use your Heliar on a M6? What make is the ring between the M6 and the Heliar? If it is Leitz, do you get the infinity mark at 12 o'clock? Mine is at one o'clock. - -- Christer Almqvist D-20255 Hamburg, Germany and/or F-50590 Regnéville-sur-Mer, France
