I have read each posting with some care as I found it interesting to a point. It is such an in depth subject involving more than photography, Leicas and work. It has become a discussion of the ideologies of many and not just the photographer in question. A very complex and emotional subject to say the least. However before it evolves (close to) into a mass burn out of emotion and opinions, may I offer a suggestion? It is 5.59 a.m Saturday 23 August, (well it is at the moment where I am) could we save all these posts (and emotions) so we can pull them up in the middle of the winter, when some of us are up to our butts in snow and cold. For those of you who do not experience these weather conditions, it tends to cool emotions and sharpens the mind. Then we could spend __"one week"__ in a special discussion of the subject. Actually, I have found it rather interesting, not just from the Leni Riefenstahl aspect, but on the broader scale of how we LUGNUTS relate to the past and obviously to how we see the event by todays standards. This is merely food for thought and maybe we could say "Amen" to the topic and resurrect it in December! What think you? ted
