Access was near impossible, I only knew that the project needed to be documented in a way that would represent the truth about it. It has been a very interesting ride. Originals are available and along with assignments it is how I have supported this work, all printed by me on black and white fiber paper/archivally processed. The prints are made on 16X20" paper. Prices available upon request. And my sincerest thanks to the Leica community for permitting this announcement.
