[Leica] IMGs: Venice Canals

[rgacpa at gmail.com (Robert Adler)]

Thank you kind sir!
I will follow your advice once I leave my day job; for now I'm just happy
to get a day out shooting. That said, I hope to see more and more shooting
days as I wind out of my day job over the next couple of years.
But your encouragement is very gratifying, and I thank you.
Best,
Bob
