Always inspiring for me as a beginner and so much to learn. Best wishes, Matthew ====================================== Matthew Hunt Cottenham, Cambridge, UK http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/mnsh/ -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+matthewhunt123=btinternet.com at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+matthewhunt123=btinternet.com at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Shulman Sent: 01 January 2014 05:00 To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] The 2013 Leica Users Group Yearbook: Two Announcements The first, naturally, is the availability of the book. http://store.blurb.com/my/books/4979491-lug-yearbook-2013 121 photographers from around the world have participated in this year's volume, the eighth annual issue. The book is available in a variety of papers, bindings, etc. to your own taste. A surcharge for each book will be donated to Project H.O.M.E., an organization that provides shelter, medical attention, and vocational training to homeless individuals. www.projecthome.org The second is an end of sorts. This will be the last LUG yearbook with me as Editor, Compiler, and General Haranguer. After eight years I've realized that it's time to pass the torch. With a healthy number of contributors, it's obvious that the yearbook fills a need for what is otherwise a virtual group-a tangible, large example of our pictures. It just needs a new shepherd, someone who can build on this ongoing annual tradition. The LUG Yearbook's run would have been truncated after a year or two were it not for Dr. Ted Grant's enthusiastic cheerleading-and oh-so-subtle suggestions that a group of photographers might want to submit an image or two in a timely basis. Our saloonkeeper, Brian Reid, has been singularly supportive with his encouragement, the FAQ page for the project, and his engaging annual essays. I can't thank Ted and Brian enough for their friendship and help over these past eight editions. And I thank every participant from the past eight years. It's been a wonderful experience. All best, Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
