Photokina 2012: The Leica event

Leica Hall of Fame award ceremony, with Nick Ut, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, Karin Rehn-Kaufmann and Markus Lanz all on stage.

On September 17 at the Photokina 2012 Leica event, Nick Ut was awarded with the Leica Hall of Fame Award 2012 by Karin Rehn-Kaufmann. The price was for his famous "Napalm Girl" photo depicting Phan Thi Kim Phuc who became victim of the Vietnam war 1972.

In other words, Leica created enormous suspense to all awaiting Leica's new products. I almost thought the prize award would be what the event is all about. After all, it is quite an iconic photography and having both Nick and Kim Phuc on stage made it an impressive event. Even for people waiting for the whatever Leica would reveal. Like me ;)
