I shoot one of her daily...have been since August and will continue until I drop her off at college next summer. Children are not an inappropriate subject matter for LUG posting. The work you are doing with your daughter is very important...for one, it records her growth and for another, it will be an amazing record of yours as a growing, learning photographer. Poo poo the nay-sayers and keep on posting whatever you like.......I'm behind you 100% Lea - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Manley" <images@InfoAve.Net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: Eric's PAW : At 08:31 PM 1/19/02 -0600, you wrote: : >I've gotten private feedback that : >says the LUG isn't the place for my family pictures.
