Yes, they produced gorgeous work - but it was NOT documentary photography or photojournalism is any sense that those terms are commonly understood; it was public relations/government propaganda photography commissioned specifically to help get New Deal programs through Congress. God knows I'm glad they did it, but let's not re-write the history of photography here." == Kit retorted, tongue-in-cheek: Yea, but who cares, if the machine was run by Democrats! ;-) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
