[Leica] I've posted a few pictures

[Peter Klein <pklein@2alpha.net>]

OK, gang, I'm about to stick my neck out.  I've posted a few pictures at

http://www.2alpha.com/~pklein

Note:  The server is slow to respond, but once it does, the page loads quickly.

The picture on the main page is a point-and-shoot shot, but it will give 
you a vague idea of what I look like, assuming you care.  From there, go to 
"Current Pictures" to see a couple of shots from the first SLUG gathering, 
with Kyle Cassidy as guest of honor.  There's also a couple of shots of 
some good friends, and three pictures from the chamber music concert I 
photographed last weekend.  The latter are not very good, but since I 
talked about 'em, I figured I should show them.  The concert shots are 
taken with an 85/1.9 Canon, the rest with a 35/2 pre-asph Summicron.

Disclaimers and Lamebrained Excuses:  This is the first time I've shot B&W 
in nearly 20 years.  This is the first time I've put up a Web page.  It's 
also the first time I've scanned pictures (4x6 prints from Seattle Film 
Works, scanned in a hurry on a flatbed at work).  I don't have Photoshop or 
anything like that--I just took the raw scans, cropped them and adjusted 
the gamma in Irfanview, and applied a "sharpen" mask.  And I'm still 
testing my equipment, which I only bought recently.

I feel a little foolish not showing my best, but if I waited until I was 
satisfied, I'd never post anything.
