[Leica] Culmination of Sal DiMarco research A SAL STORY!:-)

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (tedgrant at shaw.ca)]

Howard OFFERED:

>>>Sal was a wonderful story teller.
It was a delight just to sit and listen to him talk about his white house 
days, the Time cover days
(especially taking the cover picture of Canadian PM Brian Mulroney) and 
other assignments. <<<<<

A side note to Sal photographing Prime Minister Mulroney. :-)

Sal and myself were covering the PM at the same time during the Canadian 
Government Federal Election Campgain. We really didn't know each other at 
the time other than a nod of the head as in "Hi!"

A few years later Sal was the guest speaker at the Leica Cape Cod Seminar 
and gave a short presentation which to my surprise he opened with.... "Now 
here's a talented Leica User hanging out with a beautiful woman!"

And up on the screen flashes a wonderful slide of the Prime Minister's wife, 
"a smashing beauty at the time" and myself tete - a - tete nose to nose all 
smiles! :-)  OOPS!!!! Caught me as a good Leica shooter would shoot! I of 
course had to exlain my way out of that one "very carefully!" :-)

I unfortunately never got a copy of said photograph. "Sal some day I'll get 
you for that!" ;-)

cheers,
ted
