I dropped my Leica while taking photos outside the food pantry and lost today’s photos. I’ve spent the last few hours on the phone with my Leica teachers. They are very good people; this day will come; it’s a precious and complex camera.

I don’t know what’s wrong with it except I can’t take any photos and don’t have time to search for replacements.

I’ll keep at it; the people who taught me how to use it are with me. This has made me a bit crazy, but I’ll figure it all out. I insured the camera, but I need clarification on what it covers or what I will do if it takes weeks to fix it. I’m just expecting the best.

I have an early morning meeting, so I’ll see you in the morning. I’m sorry about the photos. I love this camera. When I start to freak out, I think of all the people who lost their homes in fires and floods the past few weeks.
