[Leica] Photo database software suggestions?

[Leo Wesson]

Hi Kyle,

I think there isn't really a simple answer to your question....I consider
David Riecks the expert on this matter, give him a call
<http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/contact.html>, or if you are a member
of ASMP there is a Controlled Vocabulary mailing list that you might find
helpful.

Some info from his website:
