I've had my stuff up on photo.net now and again,t but my day job (General Contractor Landscape Design and Restoration) sucks my camera time dry. A lot. We just upgraded our Mac to the new iMac and I'm very slowly getting stuff filtered through iPhoto and pushing survivors up to Aperture 2. I promise to post a few pix "reasonably soon" but site surveys, bids and working with trees, plants drainage (and working with a condo association and WA State Fisheries and Wildlife to reclaim a Salmon stream bed that flooded last year," all that stuff pays the bills so it comes first. You know the drill. Meanwhile, I do carry the G9 to work for "before and after" photos. Maybe I can grab something worthy of the forum and post it in its All- Digital glory. Take it out of it's Lowepro "digital ready" pouch. Film is my passion, though. That may change someday because they ain't go no more film to buy. But for now, film is it for me. Oh, and as to paper: Kodak (labeled as COSTCO/Kirkland) for everyday stuff, and Ilford and Epson for printing stuff my brain tells me is worth it. Thanks for the poke in the shoulder. It didn't hurt and it reminded me that there needs to be some time in my life to shoot, cull, adjust, crop, print, and learn a little more.

Give us your gallery URL or website what size is your portfolio of prints and what kind of paper do you use? Otherwise its just beefless chatter!! I say this as a vegetarian. The truth will set you free! But I need to see the beef first! mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: rsphoto's email <rsphotoimages@comcast.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:38:50 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Tell the TRUTH!!! > > Not gonna buy an M8 or 9.
