There is no question but that photographs of pretty ladies are popular. That is not unique to the LUG, naturally. If you follow any on-line photo resource it is very apparent. I think important to acknowledge that 'senorita' in the LUG context is meant to connote a pretty young woman with no disrespect. People are not posting indecent or salacious images. Peter's seemed to a small pun produced with the cooperation of the subject. I sometimes post images of delightful young ladies because they are delightful young ladies. My daughter and her friends are some of those. They are meant to be joyful or pleasing or good photo technique. No gritty reportage. We also see delightful young children here, or pets or assorted LUG folks or magnificent scenery or flowers etc. Now as to Jerry, objecting to the word 'senorita' because he chooses to take it as a negative or thinks that it is offensive.... Puulease! Dracula growing faint at the sight of blood.

I don't have any statistics to quote, but I'm usually the ONLY female in a gathering of Leica users. I know there are other female LUG members but how often do they chime in? Maybe since the VAST majority of LUG contributors are male, the VAST majority of preferred subjects might be senoritas? NOT HERE!! Thank you very much.
