Tina,

I noticed that Tom Abrahamsson is also a left-eyed shooter, and had  
the same issue. Make  the leicagoodies folks can come up with a  
"SNOUT" for us to wear and keep from oiling the LCD!

(I think you'll find it hard to change your shooting eye (and it  
might even affect the wonderful quality of your photos))

Left-eyed folks are "right-brains" and Right-eyed are "left-brains".  
I found this summary on the web:

Left Brain                      RIght Brain
        Logical                 Random
        Sequential                      Intuitive
        Rational                        Holistic
        Analytical                      Synthesizing
        Objective                       Subjective
        Looks at parts          Looks at wholes


I think anyone who's seen your work would put you "on the right" (or  
using your left eye!).
