I find that the hard part lies in figuring out *how* to acquire a new perspective. And while practicing and taking pictures is definately part of what you need to do to go from "camera owner" to "photographer", there are a lot of people who take pictures and do not progress much: the dime-a-dozen crowd. How do you go about telling a story? What have you found to work in your experience? M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
