[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hoppy you addressed your post correctly! Ted & Tina! :-) We think a like! :-) This silliness of playing to the mentally challenged Hollywood types, regardless if Brad got paid a ton of money or not as all that points up any idiot Hollywood type can sell pictures of any other Hollywood type, good, bad or ugly! And only because the magazine readers of this crap are as shallow of mind as a dried creek bed! So much for my rant on the Hollywood scene and stupid Leica promotion garbage! Maybe some day Leica will get it right and use real users of Leica gear rather than relying on the ?big name types!? A promo example of what they were hand that would have shown the world the kind of great photography possible with a Leica is our book LUG book! ?Family of Man 2!? Hell if Leica had two pennies worth of intelligence they could?ve used the book as their biggest international promotion package ever handed to them by an international group of Leica, ?USING FOR REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!!? I suppose there?s an answer to this stupidity? Oh well back to the meds or a Single malt Scotch whichever I get to first! :-( ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Geoff Hopkinson Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2008 4:23 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] Promotions? Now Ted, I mean Tina, don't be too grumpy ;-) I think maybe the gossip magazine text should be discounted. At least I only see two ladies in stylish evening frocks. The ladies are showing the new compacts. I think that the C-LUX is being marketed as a stylish fashionable camera. I don't think that Leica has any connection with Batgwa.com, whatever that is. They seem to have just used the photo from the Leica night with their gossip article. Even that is very much less trashy to me than anything I see in the media that concerns Hollywood bad girls. The article actually says that Bernice has just returned from Greenland from filming a TVB travelogue and she loves taking pictures. When she was in Greenland, she captured a lot of scenery and memories on her camera. Doesn't sound too bad, does it? Did you see that Brad Pitt has sold pictures by him of Angelina for some obscene amount of money? I think he uses an M6? Do you think that it should be pictures of Brad with his M instead?
