[Leica] Requiem

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

Thank you for this link, Paul. Quite honestly, I'm a bit silenced by it.
We're used to all kinds of direct TV news reporting these days, but  
there is still nothing emotionally more grasping than raw photographs  
and old style radio reporting IMO. Must be because they leave all the  
unshown things to the imagination of the viewer/listener.
