 Fellow LUGGERS,

I just received a gift to day from a friend, the Leica Manual, by Willard
Morgan, 12th edition 1953. It is over 400 pages of incredible Leica stuff
that is still applicable to todays generation of Leicas. I wish there was a
book available today that is as comprehensive as this book. It has chapters
written by Ansel Adams, Arthur Rothstein, Alfred Eisenstaedt and Peter
Stackpole writes a chapter on underwater photography with a Leica. Plus many
photgraphs by the greats, but, one picture credit puzzels me; a street photo
by LOOK photographer STANLEY KUBRICK, Leica LTM with a 50mm Summar, f/2.8 @
1/8. I am wondering if this is the Oscar winning director (Clock Work
Orange, 2001, etc, etc)? Did Kubrick work for Look before going on to his
marvelous film career? Anybody know?
