[Leica] Re: When in doubt ask photographer

[manolito at videotron.ca (EPL)]

That we are sometimes told we have been forgotten by our Third World
subjects as we sit in their houses with our cameras is testament to their
graciousness, and to their understanding that our gear cost more than a year
of their family earnings!

Sure, making tortillas or performing open heart surgery is more important to
committed people than grinning for our Leicas. But they know we are there.
They -- the villagers and the surgeons -- are not idiots totally lost in
their tasks while we perform ours, and that's the essence of the bargain: to
each his/her own work.
