[Leica] Hurricane Rita Postscript

[dcm at pobox.com (David C. Mason)]

Thanks for these Sonny - these shots are just as powerful as any "eye
of the storm" photos - I thought about you during this awful storm
season, and I am glad you came out of it in one piece.  I think your
staying in place simply shows someone who understands these things
moreso than some idea of invincibility.

As a side note, I am going down to Miss. next week to do some
volunteer work and I will bring at least one camera and hope to have
time to record some of what I see. I'll make sure to share anything I
get. Now to decide what camera to take...
