Ruddy, Please understand that you cannot see my pictures because I have no digital photographic ability or capabilities. I have a Windows 3.1 computer with 64 Meg of RAM. Some fine people such as Jim Hemmenway and Doug Herr have scanned some of my prints and slides. If I can find a way to send them to you (cannot do it through the RUG), I will. They are portraits, scenics and shots of our wolf hybrid, Sascha. I have been in Leica photography since 1946, and Rolleiflex photography since 1947. I gave up making money in photography when I graduated from University in 1953. So you see that I do not have to have people liking my work.
