Sorry I'll miss you, Phong...No, Ben does not use Leicas of any sort. He
uses a Nikon F5, and considers my F100 far to pokey to be of use for his
skateboard work.;-)

B.D.,

First, congratulations !
Second, my regrets.  I would have enjoyed taking this opportunity
to perhaps see you and other Boston area Lugers.  Unfortunately I
will be in Montreal.  Skateboard photography sounds very, very
interesting, though I do not suppose Ben uses Leica M for this
purpose.
