[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My contribution will be forthcoming during the next week, Geoff. As you know, I stick to a personal policy of only sending Leica images (either body or lens), and this year I am further considering going really retro and sending two film images. I am right now waiting for a rolls of C41 which I sent off to be developed, because I think it might have promising images on it. I should get it during the next couple of days and then you will have my contribution.
