There's nothing you can say that will appease the "rarified few" on the LUG. Just keep on doing what you are doing. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed. Great photos, great Bokeh, great decisive moment. What Leica camera, lenses, film, developer, etc... do you use? Just don't read posts from those you know that will be antagonistic toward you. This has worked well for me for a long time because I get attacked a lot. Sounds like you too have a fairly thick skin... FWIW, my family of five, owns five BMW's. Reason... "The Ultimate Driving Machine." My Brilliant Red '94 Dinan BMW V8 Touring (Station Wagon to the Neanderthals) carries and has carried my Leicas, Hasselblads, and Linhofs on many a long, far, and fast photographic expeditions. It even was the base vehicle for the several Leica workshops that I taught, for Leica USA. The rangers at Point Lobos (Weston Beach) know my red wagon very well "here comes that Photo guy Jim again." So it can't be all that bad. The best camera for Weston Beach... Hasselblad FlexBody, 40, 100, and 180 lenses, Fuji Velvia and Efke R25, E6 and Rodinal 1:100. Heresy!!! :) Jim At 08:01 PM 2/15/2002 -0500, Sam Carleton wrote: >Guess what, my sister has accused me of not having any class too.
