Were you there, Sal? It is certainly a moving ceremony. Nancy was a very supportive and loyal wife. The tentative touch of the casket was a decisive moment, unplanned but very, very moving. I wish I had been there, but it was almost enough to see it on TV. We don't see enough moments of true emotion these days and the difference between those and politically planned "photo ops" and "sound bites" is very obvious. I wonder sometimes about our responsibility as photographers to the cynical view that the media portrays of American life. Perhaps all photographers and reporters should live for a few years under a dictatorship to have a basis for comparison. The current trends are very, very scary. We should all go to NYC and photograph in the subways at every possible opportunity. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
