[Leica] Leica back in action

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

Hey, as one who earns the bulk of his food in PR, I'm not criticizing
Draper - Being WH photographer is a fabulous career move, and it's
something from which he can go on to do what ever he wants - real pj,
pr, what ever. I know that David Hume Kennerly won a Pulitzer in
Vietnam, but it was being Gerald Ford's WH shooter that made his name.

My point was that regular members of the WH press corps are shooting
with the digital cameras they need to shoot with - and the President's
personal shooter can do whatever he wants.... Hell, if I had that job I,
too, might chose to use my Ms. In fact, tomorrow I have my firs shoot
for the New England Journal of Medicine - and plan to shoot both digital
- E-1 - and film - Ms... ;-)

Thanks for pointing this out BD. This is PR photography
 
Coincidently, over on the Canadian journalism list we have been
discussing journalists who leave the profession to  become PR and
"communications" people ("Flacks" being the industry descriptor) for
politicians and private companies whom they once may had reported on.  

...a pointless pirouette at the point of a pin ensued.  Ethics and all
that messy stuff journalists fret over while no one else seem to care.

Eric Draper is a fine fellow and photographer and has executed the
photographic equivalent. ...and congratulations to him on a smart career
move. :^)
