[Leica] Instagram -- YOU WONT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! :-)

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Obviously it's in the genes. My first photo seminar long ago was "Master 
Class in B&W Photography" with Cole Weston. He took pity on me and 
suggested I ditch the 35mm for a 4x5 at least, which I did. Things 
picked up a little, so obviously the next upgrade was to an 8x10, which 
I did. Now...I have an iPhone 6 on preorder!
