So very fine capture. And so effective,again. The only thing in this one,that raises my question mark, is the name choice of your "studio"... :-) Why have you decided to choose the name of the terrorist-organization as your label...? :-) But that has absolytely anything to do with this great documentary.

 

With warm greetings,

Alpo

Hi Alpo, in English-speaking countries we have the saying, 'you learn something new every day' - I suspect this is not so different for other languages/cultures. Your comment is the first suggestion I have encountered of this; my reference is to the Russian revolution early in the last century - in choosing it I employed a military maxim (as a one time soldier), that any coded name used for any purpose should never actually reflect the real purpose. Red Oktober is a completely artificial name that reveals nothing about me and was important at a time where my employers would not have looked generously upon some of my work. By the time I joined this site that was less relevant (I don't actually care any more)but the name was established and I have continued with it - you see it's true - to the pure of heart, all things are pure :-)

Now I have probably assured myself of being a guest of honour on some databases or other that it would be better not to appear on - my, what a wonderful world we live in. I shall consider my use of the name in future. Thanks for your comments

So true, we have the same saying in our culture.

 

Of course! This name is connected to the Russian history and it is also partly the name of the Tom Clancy`s book. Perhaps, now that I think more carefully, it must have been the "Black September"-organization that caused the mixing in my mind. I feel so silly! :-)
