Did you ever look at pictures of those who made Leica famous? Ask a great, contemporary Leica photographer like Sebastiao Salgado what he thinks about "that crap". Ask him what he thinks about "nongovernmental organizations". Ask Leica Camera AG what they think about Salgado. If you want us be "apolitical", you should at least be "apolitical" yourself. Let us stop this kind of stupid discussion at once. We are here as Leica photographers, not as inconscient and ignorant "cowboys". Regards Oddmund
