If you have a copy of LFI 7/99 page 10-11 begins a most excellent and meaningful interview about the old guy with a solid spread of pictures. (Oh my how quickly we forget as we rush toward the end!) :-( It's a wonderful portfolio on my first award winning coffee table size 14.5" X 14.5' medical book, "This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler." all shot with Leica's in magical B&W! Many on the LUG have copies Age sometimes, while recovering from a punishing Boxing day party and the final days of crushing rushing store hopping for last minute items leaves one somewhat mentally damaged&challeneged beyond any state of normalcy, whatever that constitutes?? Errors are made under these conditions!:-) So OK, I take back everything I said! And in defense I thought it was a different photo magazine. Too late of course I went to my personal photo library collection and discovered I'd created a major "OOPS!" And I apologize once again. cheers all, And yes Peter I'd get a subscription for sure! :-) Cheers, Dr. ted ! :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Hopkinson" <hopsternew at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, December 27, 2010 1:02 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] LFI: Worth it? >I must most respectfully disgree Dr T.
