[Leica] RE: did I miss a fight? (Brian Reid) and mediocre photographs

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Brian, maybe the view is clearer from afar.
Seemed pretty clear cut to me. If the LUG was a wild west saloon, I'm
thinking that Kyle would have some more subjects for his current series.
Me I'd be pleased to be counted at the table with the crawfish.
 
Following on from that, I'm one of the posters of amateur, mediocre or
Hallmark images of no social import. Yet I have always received polite
acknowledgement and encouragement. It seems to me that there is quite a
social aspect to the LUG, as well as some very high quality and
inspirational images to be found. There's a great deal to learn from the
many talented members, as well. That most certainly includes discussion on
insights and analysis of images as well as attaboys.
A number of members share family and cultural glimpses. I enjoy those as
well. Plenty of room, I would hope for National Geographic covers and
grandma's brag book page.
Of course those shooting with Leica gear enjoy the whole experience. This is
the LUG. Equally, plenty of great images shared that never saw Leica glass.

Just my AU 2.8c worth at today's depressing exchange rate.
Cheers
Hoppy

BD has deleted all of his albums in gallery.leica-users.org and unsubscribed
from the LUG. Was there a big fight recently that I failed to notice?
