[Leica] Re: Leica-using combat photographer website - please take a look

Thanks Ted.  I passed your comments on to Jason.  I don't know off hand 
how independent he is able to work.  My impression is he is a true 
freelancer, but I could be wrong on that as he is not someone I have 
been in close contact with in recent years.  My understanding is his 
most recent assignment was escorting a documentary filmcrew in Colombia.
