We are more than just cameras and lenses, we are human beings with hearts and minds bound to-gether through the Leica camera. We are better for having people like yourself part of the LUG family! Chalks up another reason for not going any place else. Thakyou for posting it. Sure made me remember similar experiences photographing unfortunate people of some countries. And when you are shooting the frames and looking through the viewfinder it becomes your shield away from reality. However, it lessens not the after emotion effect when you are home sitting quietly with the minds eye repeating the images! Tough trying to put them aside at times. ted
