Big screen behind them. Both guys in tee shirts and needing shaves. We learn that the previous video we just all saw of him on the LUG was the: 1. First time Jacob Au Sobol ever used a digital camera 2. First time he ever used a Leica camera. I'm at the point now where he is reunited with the Monochrom M at the podium as Dr. Andreas Kaufmann hands it too him. I'm not sure but it really seemed like an emotional moment. There are lots of other videos about this guy, Jacob Au Sobol on you tube. I've been learning a lot watching them. I think if you Googled and wiki'd and Binged Jacob Au Sobol the only place you're ever going to find anything negative writing about him is on an email list called the Leica Users group. - - from my iRabs.
