Subject: [Leica] FSA Kodachromes, Pie Town, NM

I loved seeing the old Kodachromes.  I always had a thing for Russell Lee's 
pictures and these just confirm it.  The one of the children resting in Pie 
Town, NM (#9, I think) is my favorite.  Love the green socks and shorts -- 
reminds me of the work of modern (Leica) photographer Wm. Eggleston.

BTW, Pie Town is still there -- I was down there not long ago.  There's not 
much to it these days, but there's still a cafe that bakes pies.  It's 
called the Daily Pie.  There used to be one called the Pie-O-Neer but I'm 
not sure if it's still there.  If you drive through the town about the only 
thing you'll see is the post office.  For a peek at Pie Town today check 
these out:

Pie Town is not all low-tech, though.  Radio-astronomy buffs take a look here:
