More Exposure(s) for Leica

In the spirit of this Blog which aims, among other things, to report all the Leica references that can be found, I am pleased to refer readers to another website;

This site has Winona Ryder in a study of the Winona Minnesota area with a vintage flavour and a chrome finish Leica on display. I cannot identify the model and perhaps viewers can help. This film was made some months ago and is in no way associated with the present problems in the State quoted.

The commercial concerned appears in a number of posts on Youtube - in particular 'Winona in Winona' and 'Welcome to Winona'. Filmed in a 1950's style with lots of small town Mid West atmosphere some scenes suggest that the camera is an early M3.

The town itself is rather larger than one might think from the clips, having a University and a population of 27,500. The still photos shown have a definite suggestion of the work of Walker Evans and the images of the lesser known areas of North America publicised by several others.

A limited edition book of 100 copies was produced in to support the American Indian College Fund and has sold out.
