[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Speaking of Leica Camera Owners and Knights Templar, there is a breathlessly gushy new book out about Leicas and Leica photography - $35, full color, some nice images, iconic and non-iconic, info about a number of the cameras. It's clearly a very much approved version of history, but amusing none the less. Oddly enough, the section on Leica in WWII makes no mention of the story oft-repeated on the LUG that Leitz protected Jewish workers and sent many out of Germany with cameras they could turn into cash. Odd that they wouldn't mention that.... B.

B.d. thanks for plugging my web page www.facistbrotherhood.com: a web page dedicated to leica owners and world domination. Unfortunately my server's still being installed and the web page isn't up yet. When it's functioning you'll be able to upload the names of non-leica-camera owners and taunt them as well as plan the revolution. Along with the Knights Templar, the Leica Camera Owners are one of the most powerful underground groups on the planet, with members ranging from the Queen of England to the despotic Henry Cartier Bresson. Streaming video of kidnapping and "interrogation" of Minolta, Nikon and Argus owners will be available 24/7 over high bandwidth lines. Our plans to rid the world of non-leica-camera owners will be hammered out in the secret message boards on www.fascistbrotherhood.com. Stay tuned.
