Since things were very grim, I took the M3 and Noct, but upon seeing just how bad he looked, I refrained from taking any pictures at all. Later, my wife said she was glad I hadn't taken any shots of him looking that way. Fortunately, he is now on the road to recovery. /Mitch Zeissler - -----Original Message----- Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 11:49:24 -0800 From: Lee Bacchus <lbacchus@home.com> Subject: [Leica] funerals <SNIP> while visiting my 97-year-old grandmother in her dimly lit nursing home. As she was into her final weeks I felt some moral queasiness about the whole thing but shot anyway. The result (http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=150404&size=lg ) was something a bit spooky and for sure it does not hang on my wall. Lee Bacchus Vancouver
