[Leica] Instagram -- YOU WONT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! :-)

Wed Sep 17 09:35:33 PDT 2014

Hi, Ted -

My daughter has an instagram account to post her photos but I've never been
able to access it without joining and agreeing to all kinds of things I
didn't want so I skipped your first announcement.   Now I see that I can
get to Ted's photos, I think they are phenomenal!  Especially when you know
they are made with a phone!  Laura has almost totally switched from the
Canon I gave her to her iPhone.  It's amazing what can be done with it.
 Now I see that you can get lenses to stick on the phone for wide angle and
telephoto.  What will they think of next!

Your sons certainly inherited your eye!

Tina
