Subject: [Leica] why phones have cameras in them

My sister's husband died recently. At sunrise, about two hours before the 
end, 
she pointed the camera in her ancient BlackBerry at her dying husband and 
her 
grieving son. If she'd run out of the room to get a "real" camera the moment 
would have been gone.

Steve died shortly thereafter, and in her grief, my sister forgot about this 
picture locked away inside her phone. When she remembered it, she sent it to 
me to be archived. Trust me, I've made sure this precious image will never 
get 
lost.

(I've applied chroma noise removal and slight color balancing to the as-shot 
image)
