Interesting read, but a bit too much stream-of-consciousness for me, also 
marred by spelling mistakes--he is clearly a better photographer than 
writer. But the photos are good. I see a delicious irony that one of the 
pictures used to illustrate the launch of the Monochrom is a portrait of 
what appears to be an oil sheik. Makes the target market clear ;-)

Cheers,
Nathan
