Right in the middle of several intense discussions of "cropping" and "giving up the Leicas", something happens that really shows us how trivial it all is... My condolences, Brian.

My father died last weekend; his funeral was yesterday. I've been very distracted and have not been reading the LUG. I might choose not to go back and read a week's worth of LUG unless there's some tempest-in-a-Nikor that I need to know about. Yes, I had my Leica in the room when he died. No, I haven't developed the film yet. I exposed Tri-X at 800 and I've never done push processing before; I'm going to do some reading before I pour any chemicals. ICUs are dark places. I'm going to write a message about the actual photography in a while. I must confess that while I was taking pictures, I kept remembering Tina Manley saying that she liked to use Leicas because they can take pictures in the dark. I think the LUG archive search engine is broken; it seems to be returning only matches from Volume 19. Damn. It takes about 30 hours of computer time to regenerate the index. Maybe after I recover from this trip I can figure out what's wrong without having to rebuild the whole search index.
