Certainly a realistic number out of 365 one a day frames. The whole idea is to give everyone a real reason to find something that catches their eyes and emotions. It's not a make work project, it's supposed to be a "Make fun" project. :) If you carry your Leica where ever you go just as you wear your clothes, so goeth your Leica over your shoulder! And you'll find all kinds of the simplist of meaningful subjects that take but a moment. Actually if you're really cool about it, you might add another aspect to the challenge... You get "15 days" on one roll of film. That means you allow yourself 2 frames per situation. with a few spares for emergencies. A lot of folks wont go out and take pictures unless they really have to. Unless there is a challenge, it's much easier to say, "well not to-day dear I've got a headache!" and do nothing. And trying to play catch-up picture time in the middle of the summer sure takes the fun out of the project. oh well, we'll see who the stalwart Leica people are come 362 days from now.:) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
