Damn I hate it when people who are anonymous when they post with some dumb ass name or number. Particularly when they're on a rant. Yep and I can't understand what he / she is trying to say either and whether it's good, bad or ugly. But one thing not addressed is.... Annie wouldn't be as "famous as she is" if it weren't for the magazines whom she shoot for who opened the doors to the Big Name people she photographed. Quite simply, big name mag wants to do publicity story... Big Name publicity seeker says yes! Annie comes up with weird idea, asks publicity seekers to do weird things and dress outlandishly, they co-operate and she makes her name off them doing it and being published in Rolling Stone and or whatever big name magazines. If they were ordinary John and Mary folks we may never have heard of her. Anyway a name from Leica whomever would be nice. Thank you whomever. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
