[Leica] Friday Flowers

[ricc at mindspring.com (Ric Carter)]

What I've gotten from Sonny and Friday Flowers is an outlet. Did  
Sonny start this?

Let's face it, flowers aren't the hippest of subjects among "pro  
photogs."

And, on a Leica list, they are even less so. We tend toward black and  
white. We generally marginalize photos that do not include people's  
faces. We mostly want to be HCB.

What Friday Flowers do for me is give me a minute or two to take  
pictures my Mom likes.

Here you go, Mom.
