Hi BD, I just reviewed the site (looked at it very hastily before) and found the work "uneven" at best. I think it's just the youthful exhuberance that touched me. Great photography it is not. Threw in the stuff about the Leica only to try to stay on topic. The demands made on me as a photographer by using the M6 is a real education. I've wasted lots of film. But the ones that are right on are stunning. I don't like automatics, even when I was using an SLR. MK
