He will be in Denver on Tuesday March 25 and San Diego on March 26th. In case you didn't get an earlier post, Luis has been using Leicas for 30 years, has traveled to 80 countries and has submitted over 180,000 images to Images Bank. He will be showing his work and discussing the business and experience of travel stock. Luis has publishes several book (in Spanish) and had numberous exhibitions. He also does all his own processing and printing-- E6, C41, BW. He is also shooting brochure images for Leica Germany and has recently conducted workshops (in German!) in the Bahamas and Indonesia. The lectures are sponsored by both Leica and Fuji (without whose generous support this would not happen). For information on the Denver appearance, please call Michael Lichter, co-president of ASMP/CO at 303/449-3906. For information on the San Diego appearance you can call me at 619/230-1750 or Email, of course. After March 20th, please call Sue Muniak at 619 688-0914 (and be prepared to answer why you are not already a member). In SD, we usually open doors at 6:30, the lecture starts a little after 7. And there will be ample food and drink. $15 non-members, $5 students. Please reserve. Four Points Hotel on Aero Dr. @ Kearney Villa Road. After all the work of setting this up, I'm going to be on assignment shooting more boats on Lake Pleasant, north of Phoenix. But should be back the day after the lecture and will get to taxi Luis around the Wild Animal Park and Zoo and other places and pick his brain about Leica and travel stock. Hope some of you can make it (so you can ask him for insider informations about what in the offing at Leica). Donal Philby San Diego
