And that this is a mixed company site!!! I realize I maybe sounding like a really old fart, but that's tough, because we old guys still have a great deal of respect for a lady and this stuff is completely out of place. Because the last time I looked we have a number of very fine ladies here. It has absolutely nothing to do with using a Leica, however I suppose the "artist," if I should be so loosely interpretive in description. Is still playing on the "quirky side of sex" by even doing it in the first place. The pictures as such are nothing but crap head shots that any moron with a point and shoot could do and if it were not for the "porno side" these pictures of mindless morons who contributed the "modeling aspect" the pictures as such, wouldn't have made it off the darkroom floor! And sure as hell we'd not be having this screen conversation. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
