[Leica] 2015 LUG Yearbook......

[Douglas Barry]

Had a look at it, Frank, and it looks great. Mary Ellen Mark no less?? Well 
done Richard! Some nice echoing in the paired images, I think, so the Mans 
are uber mensch in their choices....

I tried to order it a few hours ago, but went blank with my paypal - 
brainfade - so I hope it wasn't me that's blocking it. Tried to go in to 
kill off the order but I'm hitting a brick wall.

I'll hold off until next year.

Douglas
