I can think of few subjects that are more on topic. I can think of
few reasons that are better for taking photographs. I'm looking forward
to being able to see the photographic results of this effort. To me,
this is the essence of photojournalism: to open people's eyes, to 
force them into reflection.

I find great inspiration in the above. I may not share the politics,
but I admire the passion. To me, Oddmund's presence is a valuable
addition to the LUG.
