Is any mention of the "photographers talent in creating what they do with toy cameras." I imagine it wouldn't make a whit of difference to these people if they were using Leica's, Holga's or pin hole's, they'd do exciting pictures. It's simply called talent of the shooter. This doesn't mean LUG members aren't talented, it just means they may not spend as much time shooting as Toy folks do. "THEY KICK OUR ASSES every time." I think this comment might be a tad on the heavy side, as we really don't see the work of all the LUG members as many don't scan and post. Besides, I and I'm sure many other LUGGERS never knew we were in any kind of " visual Competition " with another list. Toy Camera or Leica. My advice? Don't sweat it mon ami until you see real-time prints and not what you see on the screen do you need to believe, " THEY KICK OUR ASSES!" Besides competitions never really prove anything other than the judges usually pick the wrong print to win! ;-) The real thing? I bet those Toy camera folks never look at LUG members web pages, least of all, I bet they don't give a flying hoop about what any of us shoot nor the results! Relax, have some fun by creating a self challenge to shoot the ass off of those photographers in your post. Make you feel a hell of a lot better than becoming agitated with the price of a Leica over a Toy Camera. ted
