The PAW project came about as a result of the same thing we tend to do here 
(talk about equipment rather than taking pictures...but I blame that on 
Photokina). Kyle Cassity on the Leica Users Group came up (half-jokingly) that 
the LUG people should use their cameras rather than just talking about them, 
and challenged them to post one decent photo a week. I participated for several 
years, but when the demands of my job got to the point that I had almost no 
free time, I had to let the project go. Then Katrina hit us, and I didn't do 
much of anything photographic because the city looked like London after WWII.
