Were it not for the Internet and this newsgroup I would really be missing out: thank you all. And my heartiest congratulations to Ted for his achievement: judging by the quality of the photos in his book "This is our work" he should be reaping awards by the armful. The passion he has for photography comes through in his every message and keeps us grounded in the basic appeal of the Leica - a tool for us to face the world and understand things just a bit by looking a little closer and more carefully. Let's us each enjoy it for that and never forget it is that urge that gives our object of affection its special appeal. Taking photographs or all sorts of things is what I do for a living but nothing keeps me on track better than an M, one lens and some black and white film when I go a wandering just to have another look at some place I had thought familiar... Let's go in this spirit to check out Santa's grotto! All the best from the land that seems to produce all the tinsel but almost none of the spirit of Christmas!
