So many top fashion photographers and other professionals contributed that the books are jewels. So many styles all flawlessly executed(imho).Makes it very embarassing to even touch a camera knowing that one wont come close ever. Even with relatively simple equipment like Helmut Newtons work with the small 2.8 mju wow. On the other hand i find that their genius gives a kind of piece of mind. Like ok ,i,m no good, wont ever be but i enjoy the process so i,m a real amateur and dont have to strive for excellence. Find it a bit hard to express.Bit jet lagged.Will join paw tomorrow. simon - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
