Good question.  I would definitely send some to the families in Honduras
and Guatemala who will be in the books and to the people in the various
countries who helped me.  I would carry samples to places I might want to
photograph in the future.  And I would send them to all of my relatives as
Christmas and birthday presents ;-)  Other than that, maybe somebody on the
LUG would be interested?  They will all be Leica photos ;-)

Thanks,

Tina
