[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Your analogy of the Leni Riefenstahl discussion to a M?bius Strip is funny although I suspect that our single malt loving friends would favor a Klein Bottle ... The last two days I have surfed the net for LR information trying to find that "real source of cite". If you just try hard enough you find information that will support any position expressed here (Google Germany: ungef?hr 33,000 Seiten auf Deutsch f?r Leni Riefenstahl, Google English: Results about 87,400 for Leni Riefenstahl). On the Finnish webside "Ennen ja nyt" (Before and now) Jari Sedergren writes: Leni Riefenstahl kuului Hitlerin ja Goebbelsin l?hipiiriin jo ennen vuotta 1932. (Leni Riefenstahl belonged to Hitler's and G?bbel's inner circle already before 1932) http://www.ennenjanyt.net/3-03/riefenstahl.html During an interview she answered Peter Hossli on his question "What do you regret in your life ? "That I ever met Adolf Hitler." (http://www.dasblauelicht.net/das_blaue_licht_news_wire2.htm) Of course I only read those that supports my sentiment ;-) I just need to make sure that the "facts" don't confuse me. That brings us to the Klein bottle: It's all between the ears and it won't hold anything! Which in turn brings us to our single malt loving friends: You can't keep it in the bottle, you have to drink it all. Or EVERYTHING stays in the bottle, whatever you prefer. I learned a lot about Leni Riefenstahl during this discussion. Personal attacks can be entertaining for the innocent bystanders but they usually only poisen the spirit like it has happened with T. Mikes message: Watching her films, reading her books or being a fulltime photographer would just add another oppion to this brain salad. ... I need to leave the house and take some pictures with my old M6 ....

Mike, besides the LUG not being here for your individual amusement...and please feel free to migrate elsewhere...where-in is it said that one must be a professional photographer to share opinions on the LUG? Further, what does being a professional photographer have to do with one's opinion of Nazis? How many on this list are or ever were professional historians (100% living off their [study of history])? Or, is it that you believe one must be a Nazi to have a valid opinion about Nazis? I just wish that everyone once and for all would finally stop sending messages on the topic of Nazis.

They just keep sending the same post over and over trying to look important. Most I would guess have never seen her films. And are to cheap to buy her book. This list was more fun when everyone was trying to prove "Moon Rise" or "Falling Solider" were faked. Not to leave out Frank Hurley, or leave him in the cold. How many on this list are or ever were professional photographers (100% living off there photos). Later, T. Mike _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
