[Leica] IMG: New additions. Iraq veterans

[photo.forrest at earthlink.net (Philip Forrest)]

We don't like our photos being taken. Some more than others.
Photography is very much like shooting a firearm in that act or
decisive moment. Vets who have anything pointed at them don't like it
much. Especially if the act is called "shooting."

Thanks for the praise!
Phil Forrest
