[Leica] French King Bridge

[Jim Nichols]

Jim, that is a great write-up and photo series.  I love the tree with 
the two girls walking by.

Unfortunately, the last time I tried to activate the FP shutter on my 
father-in-law's old Pre-Anniversary Speed Graphic, it hung up, and I 
just left it alone.  I should take some time to get it working again.
