Good Lord! When were you at Maryland? I was at GW from 66-70. And of
course I went to National Camera Repair...and to that fantastic black
and white lab - Images - that was started by LBJ's WH photographer and
someone else...It was in that same block of Penna. Ave...

Yup - George Washington University. I wasn't on the Cherry Tree ;-)
staff, I was the Exec. News Editor of The Hatchet - another ;-) - the
student newspaper.
I was at University of Maryland. Took pictures and sometimes wrote for
the Diamondback, and got to edit the Terrapin one year.
Why no Leica? I'd abandoned my IIIc for the SLR - and didn't return
to
Leica until the mid-70s. I've always been an on-again/off-again Leica
guy, who each time he leaves, eventually regrets the move, and pays
twice as much to get back into the club.
I guess I was lucky. Maryland owned an M2 and an M3 for some of the time
I was there. And I got my parents to bring an M2 home from Europe, and I
managed to aquire a few lenses, including an early screw mount 21.
BTW BD, did you go to National Camera Repairs on Pa. Ave?
And on top of all that I was doing far more writing than shooting at
that point, and continued to do so for a couple decades there after.

Kyle's great Howard Dean shot reminded me of something - and sent

looking for the 1969 GWU yearbook - and the flatbed..

As cropped in the yearbook...late October, 1968. Undoubtedly shot
on
Tri-X - was there any other film? - with a Pentax and Vivitar
Series

28 lens - those of you who only look at Leica images, avert your
eyes!

So you were doing yearbook stuff in 1969, huh? I assume GWU is George
Washington University?
And why weren't you using a Leica then? When I did my yearbook stint,
a
few years earlier, I managed to use my M2 quite a bit. (pictures
later)
