dcoombs Posted October 11, 2009 Share #121 Posted October 11, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Count me in, too! Point of clarification, please.- We can submit shots which have not been previously posted on the forum, correct? As I recall, the previous book included only pictures which had been posted before.

lct Posted October 11, 2009 Share #123 Posted October 11, 2009 ...For the avoidance of doubt, this includes the use of Leica lenses on third party bodies, Leica lenses on Leica partner cameras (e.g. Panasonic) and the use of third party lenses on Leica bodies. In general, photographs taken without the use of Leica equipment are not permitted.... Well done, count me in then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted October 11, 2009 Share #124 Posted October 11, 2009 Point of clarification, please.- We can submit shots which have not been previously posted on the forum, correct? I think that will be the case - though Bill can confirm that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bixi Posted October 12, 2009 Share #127 Posted October 12, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is a great idea. Too bad that I haven't been a member for three month yet. I only joined the Leica forum three weeks ago . Anyway - good luck with the book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted October 12, 2009 Share #135 Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks for the responses so far. Wilfredo - thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that a local charity is a good idea. As we found with the One Leica Day project that brings administrative headaches and can actively put people off from giving. This is an international forum, with an international reach. I would like to keep to a single charity, or at most two or three, but I think that international charities are more appropriate in this instance. Keep 'em coming Regards, Bill Bill, May I suggest that you take another look at "Kids With Cameras." The mission statement meets the criteria you express above, it is a worldwide international charity with a direct link to photography. I think it would enhance our standing as Leica shooters in the world of photography if we went with this option and more importantly, we would be having a direct impact on the lives of children interested in photography who would otherwise have no means of doing photography, let alone ever aspire to owning a Leica camera. Please read the mission statement below taken from their web site. Who knows, if we went with something like this, perhaps even Leica might support our effort? Kids with Cameras is a non-profit organization that teaches the art of photography to marginalized children in communities around the world. We use photography to capture the imaginations of children, to empower them, building confidence, self-esteem and hope. We share their vision and voices with the world through exhibitions, books, websites and film. By linking with local organizations, we work to strengthen the children's education and general well-being, providing financial support through sales of their prints or by developing our own homes with a focus on leadership and the arts. http://www.kids-with-cameras.org/mission/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted October 12, 2009 Share #139 Posted October 12, 2009 Everyone has their own favourite charity. This is Bill's idea. I think that the decision should remain with Bill, his decision should be final, and I hope that we are all mature enough to embrace that wholeheartedly, regardless of whether the charity chosen is not "our own".
