It's tempting to say I was in pursuit of bland and to claim that I successfully achieved my goal but I can't imagine anyone deliberately setting bland as a standard to attain. Not in my understanding of the word bland anyway. I know from your photographs and posts to the LUG that you are a person who obviously knows what you are talking about. To be found bland by someone I respect is obviously disappointing for me but I do not know how to inject the ingredients that you find lacking. The difference between professional and amateur I guess. I'll keep trying and thanks for looking. - --Graham - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Appleby" <rob@robertappleby.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: 28 August 2002 09:52 Subject: Re: [Leica] Where I live, how I live > Hi Graham, I've just been looking over your landscapes.
