I didn't feel as if it was that political of a statement. I thought it was very much about subtlety. It is more political becuase of the fact that we happen to be in a war now. When you're in a war and there's a flag in the picture then the picture is a big pro war patriotic statement. But the same image during time of peace is not seen as a political patriotic statement. It's just a picture that has a flag in it. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabinergroup.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
