RE: [Leica] New Leica M Homepage

Well, Jerry, I'm going to take a chance on really pissing you off....but....

I'm really grossed out by the Leicaholic/Leicophilia aspects of
this...PARTICULARLY as you are obviously a quite talented photographer. I
really like the feel and technique of the work, your use of color, as well
as of black and white - and am willing to bet you'd be doing the same thing
with a Canon Rebel or Holga....

Give yourself a break and redesign the site to celebrate your excellent
photography, rather than advertise for a German camera manufacturer.

Sorry. But you asked.
