Subject: Re: [Leica] right wing photographers and the media conspiracy


My favorite at a recent show and tell, by a _concerned photographer_ ,
was his bleating for a return to the institution of the Emperor in
Central Europe. While I personally don't ascribe to the practice that
nobles are for plinking, that rambling comment had me just about fall
out of my seat. I'm almost sorry that I didn't mention later in my
conversation with him, that in the audience sat an individual on whose
family Bible the conspirators swore their oath prior to retiring an
archduke from the political playing field at the turn of the last century.
Frankly, a contemporary photographer is the worst possible choice to
have as a recorder of the historical drama in front of them. From my
experience, they are as clueless as they come. How they are capable of
even writing a caption is beyond me.
