[Leica] Slideshow, reply to Sonny

[geordiepete211 at yahoo.co.uk (Peter Cheyne)]

Hi Sonny,

thanks for the advice about editing down my slideshow.  I've culled it a bit 
now, and will remove some others later.  I looked at your website: a lot of 
nice humour there!

Cheers,

Peter

I went back to take a look at what had made you shy.  I was worried that it
might be me, because I'm famous for telling people to do just that.  Go
shoot with just one lens, and one film type, because that's what I do.  (or
did before I went mostly digital)

I noticed that you had gone out with five film types, I think it was, to try
out your new M6, and a Lugger, indeed suggested you simplify.  I don't think
he suggested one lens, (though I would have.)

Anyhow, it seemed to have pissed you off enough that you went out and shot
some nice pictures.

That said, this gallery you presented contains some nice stuff as I said
before, while I was on the road, but  suffers because it is a slide show,
and the weak shots drag down some really superb images.

A little editing could go a long way to strengthening this set, but I cannot
make suggestions, because there is no way to identify them for you.  I
presume these are not all M6 shots, not that they need to be, several just
don't look lika Leica.  Hope you keep posting.  You have promise.

I especially like the fact that when you photograph children or birds or
dogs you shoot them at their eye level.. Not too many people around here or
anywhere on the entire Earth get that.

A Big Fat Blue Ribbon for you there. ;-)
