Here's how the LUG book works:
Take lots and lots of terrific pictures this year.? 
In December, I'll ask you to select your two favorite ones for the LUG
yearbook.? 
Everyone is invited to participate.? This past year we had 115 people from
around the globe submit images.

Best,
Jim

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome and for appreciating my pictures. I
hope I will be able to post more, time permitting. I also saw, before I
subscribed, many good pictures from all of you, it's a prolific and
interesting community.

Let me use this "collective" reply to answer/comment some of your messages

@ Ric
I know, the watermarks are disturbing, sorry for that. It's a deterrent
against stealing images. I tried to mimic what big agencies do (e.g. Magnum,
VII, ...) without pretending my work is at their level, of course. I can
probably make it a bit more transparent, but it's so easy to take a picture
with capture screen, that so far I prefer to take the risk of getting
comments like yours.

@Dr. Ted
Thank you for explaining the philosophy of the list. I will never take any
comment as personal, but as a constructive criticism. It's all about
liking/disliking. Can we say that Caravaggio was better than Monet or
Picasso? I can't. Constructive criticism is the essence for growing as a
photographer, as you write.

@Jim
I will be delighted to contribute to the LUG book. How does it work?

@Charlie
I am in engineering (I hold the Chair of Hydrology and Water Resources
Management at ETH Zurich). Any time I travel I take the camera with me. But,
if you look at the dates, the pictures on the web were taken over about 10
years. I wish I could travel more. Many pictures were taken during holidays
with my family. Those from USA are the result of my sabbatical last year and
a subsequent holiday across the US with the family.

Looking foward to more interaction, again thank you for the warm welcome.

Paolo
