And we could all be lucky if you do post the pics from those long, slow walks! All the best, Nick ----- Original Message ---- From: Didier Ludwig <rangefinder@screengang.com> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, 18 September, 2006 10:05:55 PM Subject: [Leica] Present again Dear Luggers, Thank you very much for the many touching sympathies sent on- and offlist while I was hospitalized, and a special thanks to Nathan who was so kind to transmit my message. Two weeks ago, I noticed a certain shortness of breath while doing bicycle training. Had to give up at hills where I usually climb up without sweating. As I have had a thrombosis a year ago, my wife, a nurse, was rather unsettled about that and fortunately sent me to the doc, which diagnosed several pulmonary embolisms and immediately passed me over to the next hospital, where I stayed until today. Will presumably need to take coagulating (blood-thinning) meds for the rest of my life. Nothing to complain about, considering the fact that the biggest clump had a size that might easily send one to the happy hunting ground: http://tinyurl.com/l5gq3 It's the grey shadow in the red mark. The black areas are the lunge's inside. Shot with off-topic gear, a Philips computer tomograph. The DOF is very narrow but the bokeh looks rather dark :-) I have been commanded to go for long, slow walks. You can bet I'll take a camera with me, and post the results here. Thanks again to all, and I wish a pleasant photokina time for all who go there. Looks like the M8 will be the show stealer... Didier _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
