Subject: [Leica] OT: Tim's Vermeer

Tonight I saw the new movie "Tim's Vermeer," a documentary about a science
guy who became infatuated with the paintings of Vermeer and decided to
investigate Vermeer's possible (probable) use of the camera obscura
(oscura?) and mirrors to create his paintings.  Only marginally related to
photography but well worth a look if you're interested in art history and
technology.  I saw it locally in a theater but it's also on YouTube if you
can get it to work (I couldn't on the iPad Mini).
