I've argued this one till I'm blue in the face over on the Leica list, and
if you think what you've seen from me so far are rants, well, you wouldn't
want to open your e-mail to my real rants. Suffice to say that I once
published a picture in the old _Camera & Darkroom_ magazine of a serene
empty hayfield, and called it "Horses in Field, Northern Michigan: in the
quick 90 seconds or so it took between the time I saw the horses and got the
4x5 ready to shoot, the horses all ran away."
I just don't tend to be interested in pictures of things that sit still long
enough for a tripod. Personal taste, I guess.

No argument from me.
