Speaking of Shutterbabe, I was rather amused by the fact that Ms. Kogan
graduated from Harvard with a rather naive outset during the beginning of
her career. Of course, I am grateful not to work for Magnum and to have the
latitude to photography anything I want. Of course, to be honest, although I
enjoy using the Leicaflex quite a bit I still shoot with lots of other
cameras like the Nikon F etc. so I'm not exclusive to using other tools.
About the National Geographic special, I thought that it wasn't so much
about the Afghan territory but a lot more political stuff rather than
cultural.

Of course, I probably will be going to pursue some ideas for a portrait
sitting I have to do for the rest of the month :)

peace out,
Alfie

>Just wondering how many more....

I know this is going to turn into a rediculous thread -- but I'll wager that
everybody in Magnum has a Leica. Whether or not they use it is an entirely
different story. Mary Ellen Mark (also of Magnum fame) I know has a bunch
and has had even more in the past. Though this is not to say that when she
goes out on a shoot she has a Leica on her shoulder. Although Leica made her
fameous, she mostly shoots with Canon EOS, Hasselblad, and a 4x5. I suspect
most photographers are like that -- they pull out the Leica only when they
need it....

Did anybody see the National Geographic show "Afghanistan Revealed"? it
looked like a commercial for the M6. They even showed one getting loaded. (a
camera you purient dopes!)
