Re: [Leica] Street photography?:)

Yeah, I'd like to chip in. Not quite sure what would be involved....

Street photograhy has always intrigued me, but I can't say that I've done

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and would love to try some night shots on the
street during New Years, but I'm stuck at work this year. That Y2K crap...
