Dan,
My apologies to the list for being so prolific. I've been so pent-up for
several months now! The price of unemployment. Watch TV, go out and shoot,
hang out on the list. :-)
I can imagine you're looking at more pictures taken with speed graphics
than Leicas here.
BTW, I HATE photographing press conferences, even with Clinton or Bob Dole
during the last election! Though the one where Bob Dole almost died and a
photographer saved him at the last moment by keeping his head from hitting
the pavement. That would have been the one to be at. The photographer as
hero! :-)
