Kyle Cassidy asked the rhetorical question, if you are not actually shooting pictures, "Do I deserve this camera?," I had to wonder if he was speaking thoughts that I was thinking. So I joined the Picture-A-Week Project to find out. As Steve U. says, we also are slaves to (sometimes printing,) scanning, and posting our pictures for others to see and perhaps comment on. Some of us have turned to digital to speed the process, but the challenge remains the same. Take at least one picture each week you are proud of, and post it so the world can see. It cannot be so hard to use the fraction of a second to take a picture; After all, don't we have 604800 seconds a week to work with? You'll learn a lot If you join us. One, it is difficult. Hard to take up the camera and dedicate yourself to using it instead of just cleaning the lenses in front of the telly. Two, you must be brave. Brave to shoot strangers, brave to show your work on these forums. Three, you must accept the deadline and do it, despite that sometimes you'll get 600 page views of your shots, and not a single comment. Often people can't think of anything to say, or they are flabbergasted you would show such dregs; sometimes they (as Johnny Deadman says, "draw the veil of charity over the subject." There are also those who resent that you would take up their bandwidth actually posting photographs on this Leica forum. After all, it is a list about cameras, not photography! *sigh* A list of people who take up this mad endeavor here: http://www.jeffery-nola.com/links.html A template for doing your own: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leicaslacker/paw/ Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com - ----- Original Message ----- From: "khmiska" <khmiska@umich.edu> To: "Seth Rosner" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 10:38 AM Subject: Re[2]: [Leica] GeeBees' PAW week 30 > Hi Seth, > > What does PAW stand for?
