Thanks Wayne, as I've already said, its the quality of the work which has 
made the project so interesting over the 4 years. I go back and look at the 
original final 100 and smile: they were very good. 

Being the last year and now almost exactly 50 years since the opening of the 
original, I'm going to travel to Germany in May hoping to see the guys/gals 
at leica and at the Leica Gallery. Anyone got contacts. Obviously a visit to 
the NYC gallery would be handy: anyone offering and I think there is one in 
Japan. Before I go, I will be making up a DVD presentation of the images and 
highlighting those I already have in hard copy, so please everyone, get 
those scans on CD and those display prints done and off to Ballarat for 
storage. 

Cheers
