Eric and I were out shooting around the Parliament buildings last evening and it was cold enough to freeze the buns off a baker! :) Eric working with his 35 1.4 aspherical mainly on tripod and I with trusty Noctilux shooting colour hand held of Eric and sundry night lights. I was using 100-1000 fuji rated at 800. Be interesting to see what it looks like to-morrow. Today started out not bad but the "rain gods" decended with a vengance and it was just unrealistic to shoot without umbrella cover or an underwater blimp for the M6! :) Eric is out of here to-morrow noon and I don't imagine it's going to make any difference by the look of the forecast, so it's bigtime darkroom until the sun shines again. We've had a good time over the past several days while Eric has been visiting here in Victoria, BC, Canada. Despite the weather conditions we managed some picture taking, lots of Leica jawing time and looking in antique stores for old photo magazines, photo books and certainly oldtime Leicas. No we didn't find any Leica's! :( Maybe next time. It has always been an honour each time I've had the good fortune to shake hands and personally befriend a member of the LUG family. Eric, last fall at the Leica seminar on Cape Cod and again his visit here to my home town. As always it's been a pleasure and I look forward to the future, that I may shake the hand of other family members. Those who haven't had the enjoyment of being face to face with a name from the screen as a LUG human being, it's a very nice feeling. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
