[Leica] Some photos for sale

[Ken Carney]

My first photography workshop, long ago, was with Cole Weston: Master 
Class in B&W Photography a/k/a naked women everywhere. The prints I 
brought were total dog poop but Cole, ever a gentleman, took pity on me 
and gave numerous suggestions.  During the seminar he brought some EW 
8x10 negs (in a brown paper envelope!) developed in pyro, and printed 
them on grade zero paper developed in Amidol. Yes, there was a light 
bulb with a kleenex wrapped around it as the contact light source.
