[Leica] On a Roll With a Schmear

["Buzz Hausner" <buzz.hausner@verizon.net>]

You're right, Bob.  I just spoke with a friend who knows a great deal
more "Beat" (a term hated by the so-called Beats) minutiae than I do,
who says that Ginsburg came on his Leica later in his photographic
career, perhaps his last eight or nine years.  She doesn't know where he
got the Retina so you are probably also correct about its provenance...I
was only guessing at the Burroughs connection.

Buzz,

There's a book of Ginsberg's snapshots and he talks about shooting for
years
with the Retina, that I think he got from his family, and then getting a
Rollei.   He might well have used a Leica at some time too.

Bob
