Interesting that he is going back to the M's, which I believe he used early in his career. I think that most of his work in the past few years has been done with Leica R's. Annie Griffiths Belt was here in the neighborhood last year and I ask her why he had gone back on staff after all of the earlier problems at Geographic. She thought his main reason was the fact that he had a new family, with a young son, and needed to provide a little more stability for the family. I just hope he doesn't trade in the pickup truck for a mini van! Hero worship only goes so far... Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is.
