He mentioned something to the effect that he doubted he'd ever be able to own an S2 for his work. Well, I think that's a shame. Because of all the photographers I know of, his work deserves the use of a system like the S2. And, there has got to be a way for him to apply for a grant to fund an S2 with lenses and his time to document some aspect of wildlife in the USA... so, I'm throwing the question out to the LUG...does anyone know how and where to apply for a grant? Are there resources where professionals like Doug can learn about photographic projects that are seeking someone like him to document a particular type of wildlife or their environment? I don't have a clue, all I know is that Doug needs an S2 and Leica would do well to have him own and use one :) Doug, I hope you'll pardon my sticking my nose into your biz-ness, but hey, maybe someone will know how to actually get you an S2! It would be a combo I think all on the LUG would enjoy seeing the results of. <<< I'm a little dumbstruck and completely humbled by the LUG's support for my work over the years. Foremost in my mind when I'm in the field is repaying the LUG with new photos. A little brainstorming about sources of funding would be awesome - as long as the list can stand a few more pictures ;) Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - Microsoft?
