My goodness I can't believe I've allowed myself to become trapped into it again? We can only save ourselves from becoming screaming out of mind lunatics by? "DELETE the IMAGE IMMEDIATELY" go outside and have a damn good "THROW-UP!" Not sure it'll improve your photography? But it'll get that idiot and his SO-CALLED POTATOE?" Off your mind for a few minutes! cheers my friends, and have a nice afternoon and evening. :-) cheers Dr.ted. If this should continue to give you grief & pain??? Take two aspirin and call or e-me tomorrow morning after 10 a.m, Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Barry Sent: January-22-16 7:26 AM To: lrzeitlin at aol.com; Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Potato Photo The Harry Gruyaert book that was mentioned here a couple of months ago finally arrived at my local library having been winged over from some other branch in Dublin. I collected it this morning and before looking at the images contained in it, I read the foreword. My god, it is prententious codswallop written by someone who is firmly up his own arsehole, as well as poor Gruyaert's. I'll look at the pictures later as the fierce afternoon low winter sunlight is making it hard to swim through the full appreciation demanded by Gruyaert's dance through both nature's and life's scintillating colour wheel.... Jaysus, it's catching...
