[Leica] Re: Port of Oakland

Very nice photos Oliver.  :}

I'm familiar with the inside of the port.

The first photography book I published (all Leica photos) I had printed in 
Honk Kong, and the 5000 copies arrived at the Port of Oakland. After they 
cleared customs, we picked them up only to discover that the customs person 
took one for him/her self. Must have liked it.

We have a large one ton van with overload springs. We took all of the seats 
out and filled the van with cases of books. The van was riding on the 
bottom (hitting the rubber stops) all the way home. Poor thing.
