Becky: Martin spent some of the year in Florida (I'm assuming to escape the northern East Coast winter) and some of it in Brooklyn.
Damion: He was indeed a legend. I always loved hearing from him. He was more active on toycamera.com, but if you look through his old posts on FW you can get a flavour of his direct delivery and 'no beating about the bush' way of communicating. There is no doubt that I've missed him over the last year or so; it's a shame that he'll not be coming back. Rest in Peace, Mr Leichter.
I'll leave you with some quotes from
old posts:
"Has anyone had a POSITIVE experience with any of the TIP 600 films where you don't have to do anything to the print except admire it after it develops?"
"When you're in your 80s, all sorts of technological aids are welcome even if you still have your first camera from 1938, a Brownie Six-20."
"I still am very fond of this piece and use it. Please, no discussion pro-con of APS. Excepting ebay, tout me on to any available lenses other than the two "usual" ones, I'd like to talk. Thanks."
