I've seen a photograph of Ginsberg on a bicycle with his Leica attached
sitting upright on the back carrier. Don't know too mant photogs who'd do
likewise with their M6. Speaking of beats, has anybody seen the exhaustive
Duke University photo archive of William Gedney's work?
Excellent stuff: http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/gedney/
