Hi Alastair,

I figure if you've got the guts to try another one and Helen hasn't broken
your arms yet count me as a helper bee!

 

>>> I was thinking of doing it along the lines of FOM2 with some variations
(mainly to keep the total numbers of images to "controllable" numbers).<<<

 

I'm sure you've a copy of "75 years of Leica Photography" you might like to
have a look at it before you have a go at a new version 100. In the 75 years
it was one picture per photographer and endless subjects. 

For the 100 year version you might want to keep the subjects open simply
relying completely on the images. Because a Leica, SLR or M, are used for
all kinds of subjects, but still limit it to one photo from each
photographer.

In this fashion you may well get far more photographers representing and
using the LEICA CAMERA! And I'd absolutely make it mandatory the images are
acquired through a Leica lens. 

Body? Maybe whatever? Or it should be mandatory body also.

 

If you want to impress LEICA, if that's possible? Being only Leica shot
photographs makes that choice absolute, body and lens!

 

Obviously more discussions later by any number of people.

You sure you want to get into this again? Like you aren't doing any
hallucinating stuff are you? :-) Cheers,

ted
