I found he has a Facebook page in his name His description is the unassumingly modest "Public Figure". https://www.facebook.com/caujollechristian Based in that, I find myself thinking "How does this man keep himself clean shaven, as it appears he might well have his head firmly up his own buttocks...." You, of course may think differently. Douglas Who is going to bed to lie prone and count rain soaked plasticised chinese cyclists through closed eyes. I will of take a selfie of myself doing this, and fully expect to win the Barnack Newcomer Award in 2016. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Dzwig" <pdzwig at summaventures.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2015 12:28 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Barnack Award > Absolute rubbish.
