[Leica] poorly framed & composed snaps?

[evanowski at gmail.com (Edmund Evanowski)]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first message to the group. I have been "lurking"  here for 
several months and thought it was about time I started to make some type 
of contribution.  I have enjoyed the PAWs and the PESOs very much and I 
am impressed by the constructive comments and criticisms posted here.

I inherited a Leica M3 along with two lenses and a MR meter from a 
family friend who passed away 11 years ago.  Not realizing what I had in 
my possession, I am sorry to say I stored it away in my closet for 
several years.  I had always used dummy-proof  point-and-shoot cameras 
and I did not know what all those numbers meant on the lens, I did not 
know how to load the film, what the meter was for or much else about 
using a real camera.  I still don't know that much, but I finally 
learned how to use the camera when my wife signed me up for a 
photography class as a Christmas present 5 years ago.  For me, there is 
an awful lot to think about when using this camera but I love using it 
and learning how to use it. 

I have posted a few pictures to the gallery located at:
