Hi Mitch,

Love it!:):):)

It's the commercial guy with flash who dosen't understand real light and
how to make the great use of what you see is what you use.  They all need
to have a big bolt of lightening flash to get an exposure, which in turn
makes all their images look identicle.  And only different because it's a
different bride and groom each week.

It's a wonder he didn't say , "yeah but the grain! My God it'll be terrible!"

But we Leica users know how to use the light we see by and our pictures
surely do look different than the "twinky light happy snaps!" :)
