Occasionally we touch on Leica subjects! :-) Even though we're a motley crew such as we are, we're a very wonderful group of people who are quite honestly a "world class family!" If an unfortunate event should happen to one of the crew or within their family, everyone feels it." And as in any family, we kind of snarl at each other on occasion. Which in 99.9% of the time are merely meaningless words as brother to brother or sisters to a bunch of brothers. :-) Although some of us have had the pleasure of meeting and greeting with a name on screen, a warm hand shake and face to face warmth of meeting a friend. We trust maybe we'll have a similar opportunity with you at one of the gatherings that occur across Planet Earth occasionally. But be aware we have a crazy thing at a gathering, it's called "A Leica Stacking event." Have no fear it's always done with the greatest of care and I don't believe we've ever had a complete "crash & burn" of Leica's. :-) But do practice holding your breathe as this event can give you the shakes when there are 10 or more Leica M's stacked one on the other in some precarious fashion. Well it kind of looks that way! :-) C&C's "comments & critiques" are asked for by some when posting a photo. Often these open great discussion and many of us learn something we never knew about a technique or other bit in photography, despite some of us having a longtime playing in this wonderful world of photography. C&C's are never personal about each others photos..... these are offered to assist a fellow photographer to become a better photographer. And we all want to become that! If you haven't yet met our wonderful saloon keeper, the great one at the helm of this list, Mr. Brian Reid of California. You will find he's quite a nice quiet sort of chap. If you screw-up in bad mouthing and or foul language you will find him to become un-gentle. As we've all offered in previous posts, glad to have you aboard! cheers, Dr. ted :-) tedgrantphoto.com Victoria, CANADA.
