And then there was his Erwin's credential/testing/photography bashing period which seemed sort of odd as he had already published the article on the Noctilux in PT. While I enjoyed his writing on 37th frame in PT.... He seemed like a different Mike on the LUG..... I didn't think a whole lot of his photos that were available for sale through PT.... and apparently no one else did either as he rather discouragely told the LUG that not a single print was sold... As far as I am concerned, nothing Mike writes 4 times a year can possibly be worth paying $17..... that's more per issue than PT.... Anyhow this is IMHO Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio, Quito Ecuador Duane's Photographs of Ecuador: http://ecuadorphotos.tripod.com **************************************************************************** Dave Jenkins wrote I'm sending Mike Johnston a check for a subscription to his newsletter. I think he's one of the best photo-writers around, and I'm sorry he was made to feel unwelcome on this list. There ought to be room for diversity of opinion, and that diversity ought to be met with civility from all parties.
