[Leica] History and fun

[firkin at ncable.net.au (Alastair Firkin)]

It was on January 24 in 1955 that Edward Steichen opened the original 
Family of Man exhibition in NYC at the MoMA. Now almost 50 years later, 
we are in the last year of our LUG project "The Family of Man 2. Those 
of you who have been involved will know that it has produced many fine 
images, and a collection which all of us can be proud of, BUT now is 
your last chance to be involved and make the final year the best of 
all. From now until the end of October, we will be taking submissions 
to the project, and there will be a final judging session and display 
November/December.

Of course many of you will be smiling to yourselves and wondering about 
year 4: it is coming, votes continue to come in and should be collated 
very soon. I am sorry for the delay, but I was away all october in 
Nepal and was therefore less well organized this year --- well sound 
reasonable ;-)

Ok LUG lets PAW and comment, jab and jibe and let's photograph the 
world around us and prove there is more than hot air in the LUG family. 
Start now and I'll be nagging all year.

Cheers and here's luck
