I rediscovered photography as a serious hobby about 10 years ago when my wife bought me a Kodak digital camera for my birthday. This led to a Panasonic LC5 (with a Leica lens) which we took to Florida on holiday. This was, of course a slippery slope... Most of the photographs in this book were taken with Leica cameras and/or lenses. Anything from an M2, through M7, an R8 with and without a DMR back, a Digilux 3 or even the odd M8 shot, taken one weekend when I borrowed one from my "crack dealer". More recently, I have been enjoying using a Hasselblad. So, if anyone other than me ever gets to read and look through this book, I sincerely hope that you enjoy this little piece of vanity publishing as much as I have enjoyed taking and, more importantly, making these photographs. Thank you
