Another chance to win a signed Erich Lessing book

Because our Twitter contest was so much fun but over way too fast, Erich Lessing signed another Herbert Von Karajan book (which comes with two music CDs) that we'll give away on the blog. The first person to answer the following five questions correctly will win the book. All answers can be found in various areas on the Magnum websites. Please post your answers as comments, when posting links please always use TinyUrl to shorten them. 1. Where did Erich Lessing receive his first camera? 2. Who can be seen speaking to a crowd in this photograph? 3. Which award did Lessing win in 1976? 4. In which town or city was this photograph taken? 5. Which other exhibition is Erich Lessing currently part of? If you don't happen to be the lucky winner, signed copies of the book are available at Lessing's current "Herbert von Karajan" exhibition at the Leica Gallery in New York. The exhibition is up until April 18, 2009. Update: The competition is over and the winner is Joseph L Harris. Congratulations, we hope you'll enjoy the book and CDs!
