[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I feel very guilty about the posting I made with the above heading. It was made tongue in cheek as a half funny posting and hence the little face at the end of it. I guess there is a difference in the American and British senses of humour because there have been a number of postings reassuring me that my work is good enough to submit, and that I shouldn't commit suicide yet for a while! Just to reassure those of you who are concerned about my future, my work is amongst the work submitted and displayed ready to be judged with the others. However, the kind words and concern were much appreciated! I think I will be round for a little longer, mainly because nobody offered to buy my cameras at a good price ;>) Regards to all Gerry Gerry Walden LRPS www.gwpics.com - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Tina Manley Sent: 19 November 2002 22:43 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] FOM2 - Depressing At 04:45 PM 11/19/02 -0500, you wrote: > > > > Gerry Walden wrote: > > > The more I look at the FOM2 the more depressed I get about my own > > > inadequacies.

Instead of looking at the best images on FMO2 - and there is an abundance of wonderful photos this year - go through and pick out the ones which prompt you to say, "Now why did they submit that?" Out of almost 900 photos there are bound to be some that you question. Concentrate on those and tell yourself, "I can do better than that with my eyes shut!" Your photos that I've seen are certainly worthy of inclusion in the FMO2.
