My response to them politely is? "GET STUFFED!" :-) The LUG YEAR BOOK was never written in stone how / who / what! Yes we started out all images should be the results of a LEICA click! And the same wonderful lad JIM SHULMAN put it together right on time and everyone was gung ho to go FOR YEARS! Well for several years Jim Shulman was "BOOK MASTER EXTRAORDINAIRE!" It was neat and the crew didn't require any ranting to get photos in as it was seen as a "cool showing of our pictures!" ALL OF US! As I see it should still be! "WE THE LUG CREW!" You ain't one of use? Go some place else! Unfortunately there are too many losers in our cruel cold world and we need visitors to continue to be as A BOOK wonderful looking as we have always been! UNFORTUNATLEY! We have seen the past few years, the true LUG members appear to have dwindled! We've had to reach out to "whomever?" aspects of the photographic community worldwide. And I'm first to jump in "WE HAVE HAD SOME VERY FINE IMAGES ADDED TO THE BOOK!" So Richard my Son, please do your own thing as the bottom line is? "Make it the best damn photography book possible as you see it!!" Thank you good Sir! To "heck with the whiners as it hasn't cost them a penny!" Your response? GET STUFFED! :-) cheers, Dr. ted nal Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Gene Duprey Sent: December-18-15 4:36 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMPORTANT: LUGbook 2015 Richard, In past years I think the order was by when they sent in the photos. As far as I am concerned, it is your project this year and you should order the photos the way you want to. If you want to mix them then great do it. If it makes the photos larger on the page, then that is good for everyone. if someone has to look for their photos over several pages, Big Whoop! I will not be crying, foul or otherwise. *Again It is Your Project this year, and you need to do it the way you want.* *If someone does not like it, then they can volunteer to do it next year.* All I care is that I've got my 2 photos in it again this year. If I have to look through the whole book to find them, It won't break my heart one tiny bit. Do It Your Way! Thanks for your hard work, Gene On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 5:07 PM, RicCarter <ric at cartersxrd.net> wrote: > Richard?you the man?do it as you like > > If anyone finds this inconvenient, they should just let us know and we?ll > send a couple of photos to do it their way > > nobody hired you Richard, so we don?t get to boss you around > > thanks again for your labor > > ric > > > > > > > On Dec 18, 2015, at 5:03 PM, Richard Man <richard at richardmanphoto.com> > wrote: > > > > Dear LUG family and contributors: > > > > I have a received a strong objection to making the change.
