Daniel,
I think your comfort zone is square.  The Rollei shots are always so
well composed.  Perhaps it is the mindset when you pick up the camera,
snapshot(Leica), real photograph(Rollei).

In any case, the Rollei shot is sublime.

The Leica shot is from a drive down to the sea (straight out from our
house about 6 miles):

I have quite a few Rollei shots that I like, but my wife and I settled
for
this one this week. Winter came upon us ... from a single, constant
direction ... painting the trees with snow. This is from a walk around
our
"neck of the woods".

I guess I'm in for it again this year (in for the PAW). I'm not making
resolutions, but I'm aiming at always having a Rollei shot.

When it comes to Leica ... I want to (but no resolutions) try and
concentrate on color slide film. The PAW is a good learning experience,
and my color shots are typically pretty uninspired. I want to get
comfortable with it. But doing so makes it hard to meet deadlines. The
slides won't be back until Monday or Tuesday.

I'm also going to try and make friends with the 50mm lens again.

Best,
