I have no idea if Philippe believed in God, but God believed in him. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. I will never get the chance to meet him, but through his photographs and discourse I got a sense of who he was. Here is his LUG gallery. Go look at his photographs. There are 3800 of them here. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica From reid at mejac.carlsbad.ca.us Thu Jan 20 22:29:17 2022 From: reid at mejac.carlsbad.ca.us (Brian Reid) Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2022 14:29:17 -0800 Subject: [Leica] LUG yearbook 2021 reminder: 10 February Message-ID: <7da344ac1b534d80fbabf1f8a1945a88@mejac.carlsbad.ca.us> A reminder that the submission deadline for the 2021 LUG yearbook is just 3 weeks away.

Instructions for submitting this year are at http://leica-users.org/yearbook/submitting.html Last year I tested positive for COVID 24 hours after the submission deadline and it took me many months to recover. I'm counting on that not happening again this year (thank you, Moderna), which means that I'm optimistic the 2021 yearbook will be published on time.

I rarely look at pictures on my phone. Ric's photos often feature birds or trains. A Rail is a bird. Some are even sort of colorful. I spent the day assuming that the photos were of a unusually colored bird that liked to pose for the camera. Imagine my surprise when I got to a big screen and discovered that it was an orange locomotive and not a brown bird.
