<p>I would continue the My Life Project I started last year - <a href=" a series of "final portraits" of hospice patients or terminally ill people to give to families, while bringing awareness to the issue of end-of-life care, only I would take it nationally and set up chapters of the project all over the Country, with other volunteer photographers and participating hospices...</p>

<p>Thank you Nadine - I re-read the thread to see what "got" me, and I think it's because in a thread where Otto admired someone's work, somebody else had to comment "I liked the color, but not her pictures! I cannot believe what she chose to show, especially the first ones." This is not about her processing or lack thereof - this is unprofessional and uncalled for. But Julie's grace shows through in her response. She doesn't need defending, her work speaks for herself.</p>

<p>I have shot alongside Julie - not only she is one of the most talented photographers one has the pleasure of working with, but she is also incredibly gracious and kind - she didn't have to disclose her process or "secrets" but that's just what giving person she is - she has shared what she reveals in her blog response with me without even asking, and I've seen her work right out of the camera, I can assure you she IS THAT TALENTED and that is exactly what she does - I guess it's flattering that people spend so much time trying to figure out what she does post-production to "make her images look that way", but her photography is so stunning because Julie is a photographer first, not a digital artist and not a photoshop guru. This used to be a community that supported each other's successes, what happened? I say Congratulations Julie, YOU are the real deal!</p>

Thank you all for your help - I am trying to change the order to a 3CAM lens as we chat - this site is great, thank you!

I'm new to Leica R - I am about to purchase a R4 with "50 F2 SUMMICRON 2 CAM

(SER 6) 35MM SLR MANUAL FOCUS STANDARD ANGLE LENS" - what does the 2CAM stand

for? I've seen 1 CAM and 3 CAM, but I'm not sure what that means - English is

not my first language, can you please help?

Thank you!
