Ten years ago I maxed out my credit cards to buy a leica M3, and was eventually forced to sell it for lack of money. kept the canon rf. went without food to buy film. only just recently had enuf money to buy a leica again. still can't afford 'em new. don't talk to me about prices. Okay, a user M2 and lens can be had for less than the shittiest second hand car, but I didn't have a car for 10 years. anyway, here's the point. the LUG competition is a GREAT idea. Some proposals for comment. - -- open a bank account, anyone can deposit what they like. - -- try to get Leica to match funds - -- one picture per entrant, submitted as sub-100k jpeg via internet - -- only stipulation is that entrant must NOT own a leica - -- theme? - -- prize to be taken in leica equipment - -- Johnny Deadman photos: http://www.pinkheadedbug.com music: http://www.jukebox.demon.co.uk
