The Picture-a-Week concept (well, as far as I know) seem to originate from Kyle Cassidy, a photographer who had his hands on an expensive machine, namely a Leica rangefinder camera and joined the LUG (leica user group). Facing camera-fondlers (people who have cameras and just enjoy saying how great they are and not take any images...), an number of photographer of the LUG decided to take a picture every week so they could put their Leica to good use (and prove that Leicas are the bestest cameras in the whole universe (that part was added by me...)).
On the first week that they were supposed to do it, Kyle was the only one standing with an image, and kept going every week, for now four whole years. Many other leicaists have started doing their own picture-a-week project, and that's a good thing (read it in a Martha Stewartesque way...).
Now, LF is not like a Leica, i agree, but many arguments going around in LF forums seem along the lines of "LF is the bestest way to get the bestest image quality", so I decided to go out and make pictures, every week, and post the results here (plus it gives me an extra incentive to take my LF equipment around...).
If you'd like to start a LF PAW for yourself, don't forget to tell me so I can link to you...
