Our year books of the past have all been wonderfully filled with excellent photography. One might describe the layouts as very fine "orchestral style music." Still interesting to look at and enjoy without question. Your 2015 concept? It's still orchestral trying to describe the feeling looking through the pages. But more like "Sweet dancing light hearted gnomes in the garden!" The cross matching of some photos by two different photogs side by each improves the impact of both photos! Another aspect? In previous years "our two photos were side by each!" As I flip quickly page after page looking for my two. "Oh! COOL!" Obviously we linger longer looking , you feel nice that you picked the best???? yeah right? :-) You've seen your 2. Now it's a kind of fast flick through the other pages. Book is down until about 1st of Dec.when you are checking the next years' book. However 2015? :-) It's an amazing mixture of light hearted jazz as you flip pages enjoying the impact of photo to photo by two different photographers! ~ I feel the matchings/matings in some cases improves the visual impact photo to photo due to your selections! :-) Without question I believe the photography submitted year to year since the first book has improved immeasurably! Then add this photo matching 2015 and nearly all photos jump by a 10 point rating of goodness! And not having your two photos side by each adds to the kind of visual excitement looking for them as you turn pages. Well that is unless you went to the back, got the page numbers for yours! Then it was flip to the page, a quick look? Move to next page number and second photo, quick look close book and start a new year? Richard Lad and your good wife have produced a very beautiful book, no question! :-) cheers, ted PS: Oh and don't get in a sweat over the last couple of glitches simply because the book in hand is going to blow everyone away and a glitch won't be remembered! :-) Dr. ted :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Donald Lawrence Sent: January-01-16 8:54 AM To: lug at leica-users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] LUG Yearbook 2015 (FINAL) Congratulations, Beautiful job!
