[Leica] Paris tragedy

[Nathan Wajsman]

I am afraid that Gary Kasparov is right when he tweets (just a couple of hours ago) that now is the time to get angry rather than sad. This is not a clash of civilisations; it is a war between barbary and civilization, and the latter must defend itself with ALL necessary means. 

It seems that every generation in recent history has been confronted with some barbarian ideology and its adherents: nazism for our grandparents, then communism for our parents, now islamism for us.

I will be in Paris at the end of the month and will make a point to visit that concert hall if I can.

Cheers,
Nathan

>> As many of you know, Paris Photo 2015 has been on this week from yesterday, and continues over this weekend. It is always a wonderful show, and Paris is a wonderful city to visit as a photographer, or indeed as an ordinary tourist. Until my wife got ill, I went to Paris Photo every year, and I was sorry I couldn't go there again this year.

To Philippe and the other photographers we know in France, or any one else who is in Paris, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and that you have my deepest sympathies on this tragedy.
