We have a member among our number who was a close
friend of Keppler. My own experiences with Burt
were somewhat south of negative, but, then, I can
be abrasive and so could he and perhaps we just
got off on the wrong foot, and so be it. His
impact was felt early and hard, when he first
encountered the "Contax D" and immediately went
over to the SLR side. After that, he did an
accurate job of documenting the growth of
phtoography and of pushing its limits.
He had a lengthy and productive and worthy life
and his thoughts will be missed. They were
always wrothy: sometimes they were brilliant,
sometimes they were blind, but they were always interesting.
