Hi Doug,
Very nearly every time I see one of your postings of this nature I can't
imagine Leica...the company.....in Germany, not paying you huge sums of
money to promote their equipment. And or using your photography to show the
world this is what the hell shooting nature photography is all about. Use
Leica!

Of course we all know it isn't just the equipment, but the talent of the
photographer using the equipment. However, who cares if it sells tons of
equipment.

Your photography could, if they had the brains to promote equipment
properly, virtually produce sales in the zillions, well OK great sums of
money in equipment! 

What better promotion value could they have than real time material such as
you produce?  Just for the hell of it, you should run off some brilliant
prints, 11X17 or so, never mind the nickel and dime 8X10's and fire them off
to the new CEO and see what happens in making some kind of proposal.

If you do not have the name, I know David Young could help with that.

Look, it wouldn't be a moment wasted as one of a couple of things could
happen. He freaks out at the fantastic quality and you end up with a very
nice monetary contract. Or he shows the general run of the mill Leica
promotion stupidity and says nothing. Oh you might get a nice thank you
card.  Maybe.

Hell they couldn't lose, nor go wrong with the quality of photography you
produced with a Leica for perfect marketing of R equipment!

If you were using Canon the company would wet their pants moving so fast
trying to get you to sign a well funded contract! Leica?

What the hell go for it. The old saying, "Nothing ventured. Nothing gained!"
Besides you'll never know until you try. :-)Best of luck.
