Subject: [Leica] New topics - related to photography
From: "B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>

Topic 1 -The current issue of Aperture - celebrating the start of their 50th
anniversary year - has, among several interesting pieces, a long article by
Richard Whalen about his successful attempt to tracking down Capa's Dying
Soldier and prove that the photo was not set up. Some of this has been told
before on the LUG, but it's an interesting piece none the less.

Topic 2 - Found a roll of Ritz 100 ASA color negative Crystal film, expired
in mid-1999, in my wife's junk drawer, and figured 'what the heck.' Next
time I won't figure 'what the heck,' I'll figure 'why court photographic
disaster!:-)

Rottweilers out of control in the neighborhood could get be thinking
twice about shotguns as well.
But like you I'd say no in the end.
