Hi Tina,

Lock up your gear right away! Hide those M6's and lenses or she'll have
them right out from under your nose! :-)

She's sure ready for the M4,  as it will bring her out even more so,
simply because of the psychological Leica effect to be better, try
harder!  Not that there is anything wrong with her on screen portfolio
as there are many of them very well executed.

I bet the next thing will be bringing her to the Leica Seminar! ;-)

I noticed someone suggested giving her the camera and a brick of film,
excellent idea! The more she shoots the better she'll become and with
you at hand for critique she can't go wrong.  Move over Mary Ellen Mark! ;-)

There's only one major problem when you give her the M4.  You're going
to be loosing lenses and every time you're missing one the first place
to look is her camera bag!

I certainly wish her well and look forward to meeting her at a Leica
Seminar. :-)
