Raimo, that's because I consider everyone an artist, photographer or
not.  Simply the ability to appreciate beauty in its natural form needs
an artistic outlook.  There are people of course who think that a
person is an artist only if he can translate that natural beauty into a
form nobody but an Emperor with no clothes can understand. =20

BTW the point I was really making was that Leica, being so expensive is
not for the young photographer just starting out, but for the older
more established PRO (gee whiz I hate that word) that earned his loot
when times were "gooder".
