So many exquisite photos!

From the archives. I think Pixtu used an early Barnack Leica when they first started production.

Startlingly good shots of color, I just think the isolation of that color is genius.

oscroft & le vrai rdu - I've been away and am now just catching up so I want to offer my thanks to you both for a "pick of the week" mention, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the mention, Pitxu

These threads are a great institution, wrongfully undeappreciated I might add.

These threads are a great institution, wrongfully undeappreciated I might add.

Agreed. I think it here, and you say it there.

The whole Gallery is under used, and under appreciated, and under promoted.

When we go to RFF we ought to see photos. Maybe five random, maybe five most recent, maybe five most popular, whatever. We ought to see photos; not discussions on the best lens cap or some such silliness.
