Not that they don't need some investment, but maybe not the way they have it planned. . Incidentally, I'm in NY for couple of weeks and visited the Leica gallery yesterday to see the Richard Kalvar show. They're quoting your interview with RK from this blog on the invite etc. . but you probably knew that?
