A gentleman could always light his pipe and be welcomed at a table and smoke and talk. In a similar vein, just the previous weekend I was sitting at a table in Berkeley, M6 at a slight distance on the table to avoid any soup splatter. Next thing I know, I'm having a LUG style debate with two individuals over the real meaning of photojournalism. All due to Tom's softie on the M6. Half an hour later, I know it was short by LUG standards, a family friend finally pulls me away from the conversation. It turned out, after we introduced ourselves that those two taught photography at the city college. Nothing like a Leica for great conversation. Best Slobodan Dimitrov
