I've had the "new Panny" LX100 since Christmas so, it is not so very new. I've become a devoted fan. It is a terrific camera. Wow, Bill, congratulations to you and your wife!!

If you want small and high image quality, the LX100 is a great choice.

Thanks, GSCRS-- I've enjoyed both painting in a computer
and fixing photos since the early days of the Commodore Amiga in the early 80s, and I haven't gone back to "regular" art media ever since. Some people liked the fix-ups that they saw me do, somehow my reputation got to a gentleman in San Francisco who had a Yacht touring company in the Bay area, and supposedly I saved him a lot of money for a photo fix-up job I'll include here. (I was working out of my living room in Montana at the time-- it
beats me how he got ahold of me).

I think that I have just survived one of my biggest photo retouching challenges and wanted to share it with my UH
compatriots. I'm in my late 70's, a former documentary video director, photographer, editor and digital artist-- and this is what I try to do nowadays to keep off the streets . . ..

Thanks, Snappy Happy-- and I want to say how important the idea expressed in your quote has been to me:(The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.― Dorothea Lange). When I first got out
of the U.S.C. Cinema Graduate program and then a brief stint in the National Guard (there was a draft in those days-- early 1960s) I managed to land a job as a cameraman assistant to the legendary designer, Saul Bass, to try to implement his very experimental and artistic film ideas for feature film titles and montage sequences. (which I totally loved of course. I was working along side of his main assistant, Elaine, who directed many of these ideas also, and who eventually became Mrs. Elaine Bass and who carries on his work even today-- so I understand) Wow-- I really digress-- Saul's statement to folks about his ideas as a film and title designer was that he tried to see ordinary things in life but in a different, non
-ordinary, artistic way. And he certainly proved that over and over again! His film titles are still artistically awesome today. Once a reviewer commented that if a feature film ("Something Wild") had only been as good as Bass's title for the movie, they might have had something. He used both animation and photography. Sorry-- but I could go on and on about this whole thing . . .. Some of his titles and the films you might recall seeing: Man with a Golden Arm, West Side Story, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, Spartacus, Walk on the Wild Side, Nine Hours to Rama, Ocean's Eleven, It's a Mad, Mad, World . . . and he got an Academy Award for designing/creating the documentary, "Why Man Creates" (which was narrated by Robert Redford).
Anyway, my whole thing is-- back to photography and which cameras can we use and are the best, and pro vs. amateur etc., let's not forget the often overriding idea of having creative and unique artistic visions and ideas as a very important part of the whole joyous mix.
Happy Hedgehoging to all, Tom Miller
