I read years ago about a photographer who used to hang around a recording studio and he would take shots for free of bands that came in to record. When one of the bands made it big, obviously quite rare, he had photos of them in the 'early days' and they were very valuable. Sorry, I'm waffling on. Nice set. --Graham ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Unsworth" <mail@steveunsworth.co.uk> To: "LUG" <LUG@leica-users.org> Sent: 12 June 2005 21:21 Subject: [Leica] So there I was sat in a bar when the rock group came overfor a chat... > A group of four came up to me in the pub and asked if I was a > photographer.
