Threads and ideas go around in circles as well. Maybe just contemplating why I am discouraged with the LUG from time to time I suppose. Often when I am disappointed with critiques or responses I try to make more effort myself although almost all of mine is off list. I even broke my own self limit and started sharing non Leica photos too. I just did the frame count too and actually I used Leica for about half of my shots over the last 18 months or so. That due to trying new things. Maybe I should put that other stuff away for a while and get that ratio back up ;-) Look for a lot of new Leica and LUG content out of Barcelona in September as part of the clan gathers again. cheers Geoff On 26/05/2013, at 10:40, Sonny Carter <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> wrote: > Geoff, > I look at your pictures, though I rarely comment. > > But then, I post at least one shot a week, and up to ten, and probably get > maybe two comments, if that. > > I vacillate between wanting feedback, and getting put off by the constant > suggestion that I render a colorful shot to monochrome.
