[Leica] Memories of Ted Grant

[Nathan Wajsman]

Nice, especially the last one and of course the one where he is talking about the Trudeau photo, a print of which he gave me in Barcelona in 2012.

Cheers,
Nathan

I'd scanned the film (T400CN, I believe) back then but never worked it up. It's about light. The second shows Ted describing his most famous photo. He liked that shot and asked me for a couple of prints, which of course I gave him.
