[Leica] Shoot more! - was Lenswork Magazine

[Jim Hemenway <jim@hemenway.com>]

Ted:

You mean... you don't consult with Ansel and Dorothea and Yousuf and
Imogene and Gary and Minor and the others each night as you drop off to
sleep? 

Am I the only one who... uhh nevermind.

But I tend to agree with you about shooting more pictures.  Both of my
R8s are in New Jersey so I've been mostly busy with the 11x15 and
somewhat with the Rollei SLR 6x6.  "Mostly busy" for me means weekends
at this time of year as the days here in New England are too short for
early morning or late afternoon shots... and because I make my living
licensing software from an office during the day.
