Yes, I gave it a decent shot, but ran out of steam in October (I also started late, around March or April I think). A big part of me bailing was suddenly discovering my Dad had Alzheimer's requiring him to move from his home in Alabama to living with me and my wife. This took an amazing amount of energy and focus on my part, and continuing the PAW was not an option. But I also realized that more often than not, I wasn't really satisfied with my weekly efforts. There were some good images there, I thought, but they were definitely too few and too far in between. What I did gain was a deep familiarity with my M3. I got to were I could really shoot fast, and rarely needed to check my light meter, and I knew for sure what I could expect to see on the negatives. One camera, one lens. Do that for a year, and you WILL know what your equipment can do. So in that regard, the project was a resounding success for me and my Leica photography. For now I will satisfy myself to post only images I really think are worthy, and leave the PAW type projects in the capable hands of others. Doing a PAW is not easy, that is for sure. I tip my hat to anyone willing to take it on. BK - -----Original Message----- From: Steve LeHuray [mailto:icommag@toad.net] Subject: Re: [Leica] Is it me or .... I would like to point out that while Kyle is getting credit for being the creator of the PAW, Bob Kramer was the only other person doing a weekly PAW during the first year. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
