[Leica] Some say Hasselblad must only be used on tripod...

[Ted Grant]

Hi Mark,
Naw it was being on the go all the time back and forth in Canada coast to
coast, the USA quite often. Not much sit around time "shooting flowers!" ;-)

Yes and I too played high school football for two years and hockey in the
winter from a little kid! No different today! I walk nearly everyday for 45
minutes logging distants and time. Hell yes some days it's tough as one
comes-up to the magical youthful age of 86 on May 27th/2015.

And yes some days it's hell. But I'll be damned if I'm going to end-up
watching TV most days sitting on my ass! OLD? Heck that's an unfortunate
attitude for some folks.:-(  By the same token I have days when the attitude
hardly get's one out of bed! AND I HATE IT WITH A VENGANCE! I'll never be
"OLD!" I'll politely be an "ELDER!"  ;-)

But the days of the Hassies was great. Although so often I wished they had
36 exposure rolls!! ;-)

cheers,
ted.

You must have had some kind of exercise routine to build up that kind of
core strength. I think right out of high school I may have been almost that
strong. And I played high school football.
