To those of you who feel and felt the last few days of posts pertaining to what we do with our pictures and on our assignments has nothing to do with Leicas, you are sadly mistaken. It has everything to do with Leicas! As the camera, whether you believe it or not, is the catalyst that drives some of us to do what we do. Much like our brethren before us who most in here admire of their work illustrating the humanities or inhumanities of the planet. There aren't any f stops, or focal lengths involved in what we post, but what we talk about is part of a learning experience for those of you who also carry our wonderful Leica picture taking machines. To value what you have in your hands, maybe just a little bit more.. Please bear with us at times as there are moments when we suffer from the emotional strain of what we have seen and done. Thank you for your patience. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
