Re: leica Digest V2 #138

Having read Mark Rabiner's recollection reminded me of
my own background...Went to a high school which
specialised in music and art and I was involved in
both. I started doing commercial photography together
with an art director way becak then. I kept body and
sould together by working at Willoughby's Camera for
about 10 years- At that time it was classed as "the
largest camera store in the world"- How times have
changed. At Willoughbys I became acquainted with W.
Eugene Smith, with whom I had many aninteresting
chat.- Others also- some of whom I actually worked
with- Lou Bernstein comes to mind- Ah! those
days...voger
