Just received the book, "New York September 11th, by Magnum Photographers", courtesy of Smart Papers. Quite powerful. The photographers discuss their experiences in the brief texts. Larry Towell was in town for a meeting at Magnum and didn't have "his" gear. Had "one small, 35mm completely automatic camera. Š I tried to photograph. My camera didn't work. The green light was blinking, saying, 'I don't know what to focus on.'" Gilles Peress text in its entirety, "I don't trust words. I trust pictures." Susan Meiselas, "I grabbed two cameras, a Leica and Canon, one 28-105mm lens, and a few rolls of film ‹ two few as it turned out." It has been a while since a book of photographs has brought tears to my eyes - this one did. George - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
