Yesterday I went to my son's school to photograph a project they had done in honor of Veteran's day. When I got there, the teacher saw my tripod and asked if I was a professional photographer. I replied that I was a serious amateur, and he said that there was only about 5 minutes before class started. I then pulled my M6 with 35 asph Summicron out of my bag and things changed a bit. His eyes lit up and he told me that he has 2 M6s and recently got a 24 asph. He has a darkroom at home and is an LHSA member. The simple photo of the kid's project turned into a group photo of the class and their project. I will be developing the film and printing it this weekend. (Eric, I'll send you some prints ASAP). I hope to get together with him soon so we can share photos, etc. We are everywhere, Richard Wasserman
