I like to photograph when walking around Columbus, or wherever I happen to be.
In September, Beth (my wife) and I vacationed in the Sleeping Bear Dunes
area of northern lower Michigan.  While hiking, we met a photographer with
a Mamiya 6 on a tripod, who told us about an old graveyard and an overview
of Lake Michigan, off the main trail. After reading the roll calls, I
believe this was Thomas Kachadurian: thanks for the tip, the overview was
great! 

I read the digest form of the list & enjoy all the knowledge of the
contributors to this list. I have certainly learned a lot of technical
information about Leicas.
