Subject: [Leica] Requiem

There's an excellent piece on the Digital Journalist site about Horst 
Faas and Tim Pages' Requiem project to publish the work of all the 
photographers killed in the Vietnam wars.

I always picture these guys, or the ones with the US forces anyway, 
with Nikon Fs around their necks, but in most of the pictures of the 
photographers themselves they're using Leica Ms.

There's an extraordinary RealAudio file which is well worth listening 
to, on the Charlie Eggleston page. If you can't be bothered to look at 
all the pictures, here's a link directly to the sound file;

Quite amazing.
