[Leica] So long, LUG Pals

[Tina Manley]

It's always surprising to me that anyone thinks Leica cameras are not
political tools.  Leicas have always been used to take photos with a
political purpose.

I use my Leica cameras to make a difference in the world.  Right now, I'm
posting photos of Syrian children living in the towns that are being bombed
by Turkey.  I do that to raise awareness and funds for the schools that the
children attend.

I will always use my Leicas for political purposes and the day that they
aren't will be dark indeed.
