[LRflex] Re: "Salud" to Robert Doisneau (1912-1994)

This being April, I would like to propose that we take a moment to
remember a great Leica M-camera 'street photographer' 
   
  I believe he also used an R3 for much of his later work.  
Just my 2 cents....

  Please do Eric - Le baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville was a masterpiece as many 
of us know it, even though it was staged and paid for - and I guess your 
photos will have more sincerity in them, so please DO post them, will you?
Thaks in anticipation
Yours
