I like to post as a way of showing "Look at what I saw, and how I saw it." In the subject line I put IMG and a description, so no one will waste time looking at something they might not be interested in. Sadly, as of late, I have time to comment only on pictures that give me a special feeling in my gut since I've become a caregiver to my wife and my 94-year old mother, but there are lots of postings that I enjoy. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
