Thank you for these words, coming from you, are for me the highest value and make me feel a thrill. I have practiced photography at a young age, although in recent years much more intensely, I kept my job without sharing up to the LUG gave me the opportunity to show and share opinions and that was for me a great opportunity that has encouraged me through people like you to look in my files and tease out things I had a great love ... but secretly, what you said and be in the list makes me happy, here I found true friends around the world with whom we share not only the common fondness for photography, but much more. cheers Lluis (Text translated with Google Translator help) El 24/07/2012, a las 0:24, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> escribi?: > Nathan Wajsman OFFERED: > Subject: Re: [Leica] Dave's PAW (*) 2012 #30 BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!! > > >> I would only add that I have a listing of LUGgers' books on my PAW >> page: >> >> http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws/?page_id=114 >> >> It needs some updating, but at least it is a start. > > Hi Nathan, > Thank you my friend as I certainly have missed a number of these > books by our LUG associates.
