[Leica] Erwin Blumenfeld in the NYer - Mark

[philippe.amard]

The original title I wouldn't be able to translate into English - A la  
Sauvette  is a sort of "hit and run", illegally, and unnoticed or  
stealthily, which shows in the footages.
It may only make sense to French speaking people, that is very few of  
us these days ;-)

Matches the character he embodied of the dilletante gentleman  
photographer playing with the limits.

Hope this helps.
