Hi Andrew,

Greetings from a fellow New Jersyean!--and "amateur" Leica-user.  In '98 
I shot 97 rolls, mostly all 36's--I had hoped to do 100 or more, but got 
involved in building a darkroom, which took away from shoot-time with my 
Leicas.
Now that the DARKROOM IS DONE (!) I will be catching up with 
'98--developing and printing the ones I hadn't been able to get to.  What 
joy, me and my Leitz V35!  All this, and a PAD for '99???--I suppose I 
can try.

My husband and I met in 1985.  During that year he had committed himself 
to doing a PICTURE A DAY, not photographs, but rather paintings, 
drawings, pastels, etc, and he succeeded!  They were all on 18X24 canvas 
board.  It was one of his most productive years.  I bought one.  The rest 
is history.

Cheers,

Mary
