I'm actually thinking about taking tomorrow off to go out and to see whether any of my acquaintances are going to be able for me to get in touch with. To be honest, Leica photographers ought to be indebted to a sense of heritage of humanism. Look at the great Leica photographers who photographed horrible pictures such as Robert Capa (one of my personal favorites) whose famous shot of the dead Loyalist soldier in a tree while trying to string phone lines is so horrific. I admire the traditional Leica photographers. At least, they had a duty to humankind and protested against the evils of the war/terrorist conditions without separating duty from their art.

I'd suggest you to keep off and let us feel free to express out thoughts and sentiments caused by this brutal and irrational attack to the US and the rest of the world. Shut up and listen carefully, maybe that would help you become better. - -- Pablo Kolodny www.pablokolodny.com > From: "Jeffery Smith" <jsmith45@bellsouth.net> > Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 10:03:19 -0500 > To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > Subject: RE: [Leica] terror in America > > That's all I needed to hear.
