[Leica] Regarding those snaps of a few days ago

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

I have not looked closely, but I suspect this is a group that makes a living 
from photography, whereas ours does not (in general). Of the over 400 people 
who expressed interest in FOM2, we had just over 140 in the final mix, and 
some people thought we had too many images from some individuals --- not 
because they were bad images. If we made the book only 20 to 40 images a 
year it might work.

The group VII has been doing a pretty good job for 8 years with 
between 7 and 9 photographers. ;-)
