[Leica] travel photos of places i've never been

Questions indeed. And not least: Who is the artist? Or perhaps: What  
is an artist?

Okay, it's approaching midnight here and I've had enough wine to make  
this into a rambling tirade on the nature of art and artists, so I'll  
stop before I write something embarrassing that will live forever in  
the LUG archives, to be held up as proof of idiocy in future years.

Still, it's something to think about. What is an artist?

Cheers, Paul.
