Chris, I moved from San Francisco to Lincoln, Nebraska and I feel your pain.

What took you to Nebraska? One thing about it there, and here in Indiana, is that housing is cheap. How do people live in San Francisco? Average houses there are $500,000. Here in Indiana only the very rich own such expensive houses (and they're much more impressive than what you get for the same money in San Francisco). Jobs pay more out there but not THAT MUCH more. Here banks won't loan you more than 3 yrs income to buy a house, so average houses are $90,000 and thats out of reach for most.
 
The Dot Com crash cleaned me out and my family all live here. Then my dad had a stroke and well, here I am.

Before anyone jumps on me, keep in mind that I am talking about northeast Indiana, one of the most culturally backward places in North America. I did not encounter this attitude among women I knew in New Mexico, for example, but in some parts of the USA it is very common and is out of touch with economic reality.

You HAVE to get out of Indiana, you don't belong there.

Seriously Chris... didn't I read from you that you're extremely liberal? I can't imagine it's easy to live in such a "culturally backward" place!

Hi,

Check out this terrific Leica user called Christine Godden and also Lynn Saville.
Neither are on this site but I just thought you and members might be interested.

Regards,

I ordered the lens from one of the RFF members - that would prob take 2 weeks to arrive from Japan and I'm going to go with the M2, I'm going to get that from the camera shop opposite my university! :D

I could get the M2 tomorrow. I am so tempted :D!

...and then I need a lightmeter!
 
Sara, enjoy that M2. I bought one last week. It's my second Leica, after a brief fling with an M3.

London's a great place for photography, and, of course, just a great place. I'm envious.

I live in Minnesota, where it's not "culturally backward", but it's still very stifling. The male/female gender gap is still tremendous here, and people are blind to it, either conscious- or unconsciously.

I'd like to get out of this frozen tundra ASAP.

The "American" midwest is very detrimental for people who have lived in other places; like California, for example.
 
wow after so many days, there are only 24 female leica m users?? haha, i consider us a rare breed! ;p hey sara congrats on your new m2 purchase!

The most important photographer of all time is a woman : Diane Arbus is the genius!
Click to expand...

Her work is great but I don't know of anyone who would call her the greatest of all time. She isn't even the greatest female photographer of all time. Julia Margaret Cameron, Dorothea Lange, Imogen Cunningham, Gertrude Kasebier, Tina Modotti, Berenice Abbott, and Margaret Bourke-White are just a few whose work is more significant artistically than Arbus' work.
 
There is no such thing as "The Most Important Photographer of All Time."

Arbus was definitely a genius, tho'. You might not like her work, but she had a strong and definite vision. But art isn't a horse race, so rankings are moronic.

It limits your own vision when you do that, I think. And it threatens to become a sort of politics and takes the focus off what is important: the pictures.
