Let's see now, three replies to your message (mine, Eric, & Lucien) out of
probably 50 to 100 messages. Yeah... big percentage... And for you
information, we do not inanely talk tech. We carry on uniquely interesting
conversations relating to many aspects of Leica's, Leica photography,
personal experiences... here, I'm going to repeat a couple of recent=
 posts...

Thomas B=F6hm of Imst, Austria wrote

"Venezia is in my best remembrances also in photographic matters:
some BW-films and nice prints from my visit at sylvester 1982/83 - we
arrived by train at 31th december afternoon, enjoying the last hours
of the old year in a restaurant and then at night on the piazza san
marco with hundreds/thousands of people having fun while the clock
moved to 24 h...; then dropping in some bars for a few glasses
valpolicella or grappas, and walking through the more and more
sleeping city until the new year became visible in the
morning-light... some great photographs between 4 and 7 h... a very
magic time! no hotel: whe sleeped in the train on the way back to
austria...."

And one from our "hack pro" Ted Grant

"That's why I like to do the "walk about" at dawn when everyone else is
still in bed and I have the city quietly to myself.  And in there lies the
secret of finding new angles anywhere.  New day, fresh body and clear
mind. Besides it's gorgeous light!!!!  And Leicas and light go hand in
hand."

Now remember what I said. Keep that nose up.
