He satisfied a market that no one else did as well. He was imaginative and innovative and worked hard 7/24 when that was a dim concept to most genteel types. The only proviso is that the digital would need to be as rugged his Speed Graphic. Whether Weegee would have taken to color is open to question. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
