Thank you. ted ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Thanks for this bit of honesty ;-) I hope everyone realizes that I do not limit the FOM2 submissions out of Leica pride alone. I too have some good shots from last year confined to my own gallery walls (Rollei 35S and X_pan), but the limitation has proved "practical" in that I'm not sure I could have coped with too much more than the 775 images we ended up with. If you want to see some of my recent NONFOM2 work, try the Rollei site, where I have some images of the b/w work I'm trying to "master" in the darkroom -- its a steep learning curve at least it is for me ;-) Comments welcome at the site or anywhere for that matter ;-) http://cgi.linkclub.or.jp/~dmakos/imgsquare/index.cgi Images are now coming in for year 2. Anyone who feels strong enough can post already. The site will be a bit slow while we finish the judging for year one, so please leave your image on your own site for a bit longer to give me time to set up the data files for storage with Tim. Thanks to all who have and are judging year one. Leica have joined us to help separate the final choice -- this should stop me carrying some of the flack ;-) Cheers and here's luck - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
