[Leica] Monday Misc.

[Philippe]

Photography was meant for the earing impaired I guess ;-) All the more so these days when shutter may be totalyy silent.

As for health hazards, I smoke, but don’t fiddle, and have never have, with asbestos, so far as know.


Well, I bet your diet/life recipe sound sounder than mine :-)

Amities

I can recall seeing mechanics using compressed air nozzles to blow a cloud of dust from drum brakes when doing brake overhauls.  I've done a few, but, without a compressor, I did a lot of wiping.  As I got older, I got smarter about such materials.  I have no lung problems, probably because I have never smoked.  After watching my Dad suffer from emphysema, I wanted no part of that scene.
