[Leica] Kubrick/Leica

[Gary Elshaw <gary.elshaw@vuw.ac.nz>]

teenager. I'm pretty sure he was still in his late teens when he was 
working for LOOK.

All the best,
Gary

"The difficulty now is that unexceptional adults believe the loss of 
youthful dreaming is itself "growing up," as though adulthood were 
the passive conclusion to a doomed activity and hope during 
adolescence."
