Hi all,

I am wondering if any of you Leica users out there have ever submitted photos to Leica Fotografie magazine. If so, how did you present the work, CD, Prints? Do you know if the magazine pays for the use of photos? Generally what where your experiences.

Thanks T. Gallagher

This past year I sent them (Leica Fotographie) a 10 image photodocumentary of my sons birth. Part of a series I shot that started at the admitting room and finished in the O.R. (the possibility of a ceaserian loomed). Very positive response except for two shots that they considered to 'risque' for their readership. One was a photo (BTW all were B&W) of my wife in the hospital shower, from the side, pretty tame IMO, but they claimed their readership tends to be older and very conservative. Anyway I went them the photographs initally by e-mail (JPEG) and heard back within a week. They have asked for 'real' prints, but have said that they are booked for at least 2 years and it will be at least that long before I see anything in print
