[Leica] "Understanding light"

Hello Ted et al,

When we came away from the Leica seminar at Kennebunkport last year, Ted, 
the most important idea to me was what you said about photographing 
light.  When they learn that you are taking a lot of photographs, many 
people want to know right off what your subject matter is--ie, 
landscapes, people, etc.  But to me, since the seminar, it's about light, 
whether it's light reflected from the face of a person or the face of a 
building, or a flower.  I find this very exciting and very challenging.

Thanks Ted, and thanks to all who have shared your experiences and 
expertise; I've found some great Leica photographs (Ted Grant's, Tina 
Manley's and Dave Almy's) on the web and lots of info on Leica gear and 
suppliers.  I love the fact that you accept amateurs here.

Gratefully,

Mary
