[Leica] Steve McCurry Leica guy of the year

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

I think they say that the  prize is awarded to photographers who have
rendered outstanding service to the Leica brand and to the genre of
photography.

Seems like he qualifies on the last part!  I hope that he goes on to use it
to make some memorable work. Who better than a skilled photographer like
that to give it to for their mutual benefit?

Cheers
Geoff
