Tina Manley OFFERED: Subject: Re: [Leica] YOUR RE-ACTIONS TO THIS LEICA short story FOR THE BOOK? >I can't wait to read the whole book! That's a great start.<<<<<< Good morning Tina, Thank you for the encouragement. I feel this written book project along with the very best photo in some cases that tie in with a story as an end of the trail project for my covering 61 years as a photojournalist. I've been collecting little bits of words, some for at least 30 or more years, in some cases a few notes as a reminder of the moments. Helps when the memory banks go blank some days. :-( Strange how this seems to creep in when you can't remember days or that a week has gone by? The important thing is, I'm making every effort to stay with it simply because it appears if I do not do it now, it will never be done. Besides over the years there have been litterly hundreds of lay people and photographers who've encouraged me....... "Man you have to write that down as your life is so far beyond the lives of most photographers, people need to know what the wonder years of the 50's - 60's and 70's were like to be a photojournalist and news-photographer! I'll endeavor to put a few stories of interest up on line as I remember to do so. It's when your photo family of many many years give you praise or a smack on the side of the head will help keep it all in line. So fear not my dear family please feel quite free to bite or bark when one comes-up worth a comment. Good-bad or ugly! Thank you all very much. Oh and we'll keep Leica moments in as well! :-) Yes there are a few of those. ;-) cheers, Dr. ted :-) _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
