I have an old copy of a Leica Fotographie magazine from the mid 1990's and
in that issue there is a photo of Bruce Gilden accepting a new M6 in
Germany, from the Leica spokesperson. He was accepting a prize for a contest
that Leica sponsored I believe. Apparently he had spent time in Haiti
photographing the terrible conditions even back then of the population.
That's where I first heard of him. I think the body of work that he was
completing in the 90's got him into Magnum.
