He uses a variety of 35 mm, medium format, digital and even Minox cameras. The images are interesting in that grain is a prominant feature, and the softness of the figures gives them a nice quiet quality. The book is balanced with other scenes of beauty- landscapes, a seascape, flora, etc. Looking the book over- it appears that I shouldn't be too hung up on Leica 35- there are a lot of ways to achieve excellent results among them watching the light, sometimes filtration, and planning the size of the final print. An additional comment- I've paid my own way photographically until now- and will continue in the future. Best, Stasys - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
