I am shootings lots although maybe not work that interests much of the LUG, and I do thoroughly enjoy learning to use the tools available for developing as well. I have shot 10,500 frames with my M in 9 months thus far and I just got the S2 as well so that will hardly improve how much time I'm committed to for my photography. Now for another 12 hours in every day ;-) I think I'm 1000 images behind in my editing and I'm working with five different models in the studio over the next few days as well.
