Subject: EXPLORERS OF LIGHT

This might be considered off topic, but what the hell Leica is photography and
this book is what light is to Leica or Canon or any other piece of gear.

For those of you who read and collect photography books, I came across a beauty
yesterday sponsored by CANON. Gorgeous book and fine examples of photography by
some well known shooters.

"EXPLORERS OF LIGHT"   CANON USA INC.  (no it isn't blasphemy it is Light)

Now you folks all know I'm a red blooded Leica guy, but the photography
illustrated here is beyond equipment and demonstrates how light is the main
commodity of photography and not our equipment. This is an excellent book for
learning about light.

A favourite quotation of mine is, "To learn photography without books is like
attempting to sail the seven seas without charts"!  I highly recommend it.

Don't just talk photography, go get this book and learn more about our wonderful
pastime. :)  Leicas are made for using with the light that motivates our eyes
and mind and if anything, this book will turn you on to using your Leica even
more so!
