What, pray tell, does the fact that the people offering their opinions
aren't "professional photographers (100% living off their photos)" have
to do with anything related to this discussion? Marc is not a
professional photographer. In fact, Marc never posts any photographs to
the LUG, and rarely discusses photographs.

Could you explain - and site your sources for your belief (as that is
what Marc Small requires of all of us here on his list) - that one needs
to be a "professional photographer" to discuss whether Leni Riefenstahl
was or was not a willing accomplice of the Nazis and, at least for a
time, part of Hitler's inner circle?

Marc--All of the Leni Riefenstahl haters, have no real sources to cite.
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
