A better idea I've never seen I plan to rip it off if I'm still alive in 2016 and spend the day with a hired model doing rip off rip offs. Instead of Behind Saint-Lazare Station it will be behind a bar on Amsterdam ave. Then try to keep up with the print orders. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Phil Swango <pswango at att.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 15:17:39 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Leap Day and the Design of a Photograph > > Richard man wrote: >> Leap! >> >> and Design Elements >> >> http://www.richardmanphoto.com/blog/?p=3438 > > > The picture made me smile, mainly because of the HCB reference.
