Luggers,
Luis Marden, 90, who introduced 35mm photography, the Leica and
Kodachrome to the National Geographic magazine, past away. There is an
interesting obituary on him in today's NY Times. 4/5/03.
Someone quoted in the story said, he got the photographers away from
carrying 200 pounds of equipment with his Leica. I find it amusing because
almost everyone at the NGS travels much much more today.
Happy Snaps,
