Re: [Leica] What Makes a good Picture?

I spent part of Thanksgiving with my son and my ex's family, all of whom I
get on well with. My sister-in-law is dying of pancreatic cancer and I was
very uptight about taking pictures. My son already groans when I get out a
camera ... I guess the answer would be to always have a camera out as SonnyC
suggested earlier. But it's still a tough call.
