In December, I'll ask you to select your two favorite ones for the LUG yearbook. Everyone is invited to participate. This past year we had 115 people from around the globe submit images. Best, Jim -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Paolo Burlando Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2011 7:01 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] new member Thank you everybody for the warm welcome and for appreciating my pictures. I hope I will be able to post more, time permitting. I also saw, before I subscribed, many good pictures from all of you, it's a prolific and interesting community. Let me use this "collective" reply to answer/comment some of your messages @ Ric I know, the watermarks are disturbing, sorry for that. It's a deterrent against stealing images. I tried to mimic what big agencies do (e.g. Magnum, VII, ...) without pretending my work is at their level, of course. I can probably make it a bit more transparent, but it's so easy to take a picture with capture screen, that so far I prefer to take the risk of getting comments like yours. @Dr. Ted Thank you for explaining the philosophy of the list. I will never take any comment as personal, but as a constructive criticism. It's all about liking/disliking. Can we say that Caravaggio was better than Monet or Picasso? I can't. Constructive criticism is the essence for growing as a photographer, as you write. @Jim I will be delighted to contribute to the LUG book. How does it work? @Charlie I am in engineering (I hold the Chair of Hydrology and Water Resources Management at ETH Zurich). Any time I travel I take the camera with me. But, if you look at the dates, the pictures on the web were taken over about 10 years. I wish I could travel more. Many pictures were taken during holidays with my family. Those from USA are the result of my sabbatical last year and a subsequent holiday across the US with the family. Looking foward to more interaction, again thank you for the warm welcome.
