[Leica] Unsubscribing

[Tina Manley]

I continue to use only Leica equipment to capture the world in a
documentary way, I hope.  To me, this group is my family and I don't care
what equipment you use!!

I am one of the few women here so I guess I should feel like an outsider,
but I don't.

I don't always comment on the photos but I always look at them and
appreciate the sharing.  The LUG is more about people than equipment and I
haven't found a photography group with better people ;-)

Leically,

Tina
