RE: [Leica] poets and leicas - confirmed sightings only

["Ian" <ianstanley@monsoonpress.com>]

	There is actually a book on the beat era, it's called "snapshot poetics - a
photographic memoir of the beat era by Allen Ginsberg" an interesting book
of interesting times.

	Speaking of interesting times - I have been spending the past while getting
used to living back in Canada after many years overseas.  Culture shock
would be an understatement.  Even though we had come home for holidays on a
regular basis living here is a different mater entirely.  Anyway it's good
to be back on the LUG even if there isn't much Leica talk.

Cheers,

I believe - I stress believe - that there is a book out of Ginsberg photos
of the "beat days."

i don't know if kerouac used a leica -- but in the living room of the kelly
writers house here on the penn campus (a community resource for writers of
any sort) there's a photo of allan ginsburg visiting the penn campus holding
a leica m3 close to his heart. there's another photo of him in michael
stipe's crappy book of photos of patty smith where he's holding an m6. so
alan was a leicadudepoet. at least.
