There are bound to be quite a few 'wannabee' Family of Man projects and I imagine a lot of them will be poleaxed by curatorial concerns about elitism, ethnocentrism, gender issues etc (see LUG discussions passim ad infinitum et nauseaum). All the more reason to just get on and do it, and disrupt expectations. Leica would be *nuts* not to get involved. Hopefully they will realise that.
