Two days after I entered this list I posted a question about my interest in
purchasing some used Leica equipment.  I am pleased to state that I was
provided, off list, with some very helpful information.

In response, I purchased (via the Internet auction -- you know what I mean)
an M6 a Minilux and a 35mm f2 Summicron.   This equipment supplements my M3
with lenses, Hasseblad, Nikons, Crown Graphic, etc.

I  have enjoyed my opportunity to become acquainted with PAW and some really
great photography by joining this list.  I have been inspired to say the
least.  I have been a student of HCB for many years and this list inspired
me to get out there and capture my world.

Unfortunately, that has led to my arrest for trespassing and disorderly
conduct.  Apparantely, two photographs with an M6 have led to my arrest for
disorderly conduct.  I have disturbed the peace by taking two photographs
with my new M6.  I disturbed someone by taking two photographs.

I took these photograph at a mall  in Madison, WI.  I have been taking
pictures since the 1960s and will post some of my work as time allows.  In
the meantime, if anyone one this list can help me defend my behavior of
taking pictures at a "private" mall (which is used by the general public) I
would gratefully appreciate that same.
