We don't just take pictures of the cameras themselves. A possible exception is a drunken "Leica stacking" which Kyle might have invented but it might have been Tom Abrahamsson. Kyles not been to the meetings by the way but his influence is felt none the less. By the way when i joined five years ago I had long hair not quite as long as Kyles and all the members were very friendly to me. As in ALL. They didn't mind my apparent younger age either I probably looked 40 then. It started as a collectors group but the demographic by now is about split is my impression. One thing i learned about collectors though they don't want you to know they are collectors. Perhaps they have too much to loose. You find out they are collectors when someone asks something about a lens and they start shooting out 6 figure numbers to put the lens in it's place in time. They have all these numbers memorized. It's like having the RBI's on all the Baseball cards memorized. Going back to Babe Ruth.
