Roberta Bondar is one of Canada's astronaughts who received a 1/2 million dollars to shoot a book of landscapes only because she was an astronaught as it sure as hell had nothing to do with her so called ability as a photographer! I never can understand why "personalities" get the money they do to produce mediocre crap only because they're so called personalities. Yep she's an astronaught, Bryan Adman's is a guitar plucker of some ability, but these people are personalities in their own filed and it would be great if they just stayed where they do very well. Imagine if I were an extremely talented photographer do you think because of that I can get a half million to go on a space craft to the moon? Or given a guitar to play ? ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
