I am here to learn/improve my photography, and hopefully at sometime be able to pass on what I've learned to someone else. It would be nice if it was Leica related, but I don't really care if it is related to Nikon/Canon or what ever brand. It can be digital or film related also. I also like the occasional OT thread also as long as it does not turn into the monster this has, which can never have an ending, and ends up getting ugly with members of the family trashing each other. PLEASE, ENOUGH!!
