[Leica] [OM] IMGS: Syrian Refugees

[Gerry Walden]

I am with those that vote for b&w. In my opinion, whilst 100% well-meaning, the whole idea of making refugees into some kind of greeting card/notelet goes against my good feelings. I appreciate fully the idea, and admire the work you are doing (the refugees sure as hell need help!) but I just have issues with the notelets idea - sorry!
