[Leica] Results of January 2008 LUG Photo Contest

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

There were some truly fabulous pictures entered in this month's contest. The 
judges have all reported in, and here are the winners:

First prize: Carl Sander Socolow
Second prize: Aram Langhans
Third prize: Luis Ripoll  (Luis, nota que deletre? su nombre correctamente.)
Honorable mentions: Richard S. Taylor, Tina Manley, Philippe Amard

You can see all of these delectable photographs (and 66 more) at

Please remember that there is no requirement that you use a Leica to produce 
your contest entry, but you do have to think about using one. The February 
2008 contest is now open, and the theme is "sisterhood". The subjects of 
your entries need not of course be your sisters, or anyone's sisters, or 
each other's sisters, or even be female, or human. You can interpret the 
theme however you wish. The judges are instructed to consider only 
photographic quality when judging, but I think most of them 
ignore my instructions and pick the pictures that they like the best in the 
context of the monthly theme.

My own favorite entry this month was

but it did not win any prizes, except in my heart.
