- There is an add for Caere Image Assistant being splashed all over the
- Macintosh Magazines and catalogs. It shows a color photo of a woman
- holding a Leica over her right eye.
-
- In the 1930's someone snapped a photo of the famous German film
- director, Leni Riefenstahl (sp?), with a Lieca (I believe it was a
- IIIg). This photo looks suspiciously like the same one in the add.
-
- The diference is that although the original was black and white, the colored
- one shows a brunette and Reifenstahl is a blond. Note that I say IS as she
- is very much alive.
-
- Does anyone have a copy of the original photograph? (I don't) If you do,
- would you please compare the photos and report back.
-
- If it is the same photo is Caere allowed to use it? Does it imply the
- Riefenstahl endorses the product?
-
- Or was this just sloppy work on the part of Caere?
-
-
- Geoff.
