Subject: [Leica] BJ Bumper Leica Issue

This week's 'BJ' (British Journal of Photography) has a photojournalism 
bent. The cover story is about Felicia Webb's work. She started with a Canon 
A1 but 'subsequently progressed to a secondhand Leica' and now uses M6s.

There are also articles about the exhibition of photojournalism curated by 
John Pilger, the life of a photographer for a rural weekly and an 
illustrated note about the work of 'hand-held Leica' users Chim Seymour and 
Robert Capa during the Spanish Civil War - their photos are included in an 
exhibition on that war at the Hotel de Sully in Paris. Guess which one of 
Capa's pictures is used. Now guess which one of Seymour's pictures...

Regards,
Malcolm
