RE: [Leica] NYC this weekend - SOHO

[Colin <CJV@home.com>]

For Rei and all, 

I enjoy being a tourist in my own city.  Check out this website:

http://www.forgotten-ny.com

... It's like a tour guide for people who've been there forever.  Shows
how silly things like lamp-posts can actually be valid photo-subjects.
:)  Enjoy!

Regards, 
Colin
