A warm welcome Jean Michel,
And thanks for joining at long last :-)


I am really happy you finally took the plunge and posted, and more than 
this, are now sharing some of your beautiful photographs with us.


You'll see that Luggers are a second family, with its moments of delight, 
exhilaration or sadness.


I also do hope that you'll abide by Dr Ted's injunctions when the season is 
in for the Lug Book.


Lots of experience to be shared here, heaps of sound advice, and such a good 
spirit.


Kudos on your gallery - that's a smashing start, lots of goodies :-)
Is that you with the red scarf?
It should go right up to Steve's gallery.


Amiti?s de Mutz - Nothern Cataluna ;-)
Philippe, who now feels way less lonely as a fr..

Sujet : [Leica] Introducing myself


 



Hello everyone,I have registered at the LUG mailing list + gallery a few 
days ago and posted a few pictures to 
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Jean-Michel/thanks to Philippe Amard who 
very gracefully informed me of the challenging topics and exciting pictures 
shared by LUG members.  I started taking pictures back in ... 1964 with a 
rangefinder camera (an Ansco I believe it was), then I bought a Minolta X-1 
and finally switched to Leica gear (M6, IIIc, M8). I have done some lab work 
a few years ago, this is probably why I don't believe, for the time being, 
in bringing too many changes to the pictures I take. I have no favourite 
themes I would work on for days but the way  the light transforms the world 
I live in is something I like to capture - modestly! The reason why there 
are many pictures of the US in my album is because I have family there - as 
well as in Switzerland, a wonderful country for picture taking.I live in 
Strasbourg, in the east of France, close to the German 
 and Swiss borders. A special thank you to Geoff Hopkinson who gave me some 
very sound advice before I decided to move from film to digital picture 
taking. I hope I'll be able to keep up with the email volume I get ... 
almost every second! Thank you for your comments and ideas - I'm still in 
the learning process. Jean-Michel (Mertz)
