Me, I'm a lowly civil servant. Now, the question may be: how can a civil servant (working for the State of Illinois) afford a Leica? The answer, simply, is Cormac McCarthy. Or, more specifically, a Cormac McCarthy first edition of _Suttree_ -- a book which I recently sold to acquire a used M6 from Rich Pinto @ PhotoVillage (thanks, Rich!). I don't get the absurdities of selling a book for close to the price of a used M6 TTL, but, hey, I'm not one to complain. Photos of the book are here: http://www.crabgrassfrontier.com/suttree/ Picked it up for $10 in Ann Arbor in 1992. Sold it 10 years later for -- well -- very close to the price of an M6. Go figure. Anyway, consider this my introduction to the LUG. I've lurked for a long time. Very enjoyable. Pictures from the M6 will very shortly (tomorrow, I suspect) appear on my website: http://www.crabgrassfrontier.com (Lots of pictures there now, though...)
