The portrait of Steve is very nice as well. Had the shots been mine, I would have struggled with deciding whether to make this or your main shot the PAW. The consistency of your work is superb. Something to aspire to. regards Mark Pope Swindon Wilts, UK http://www.monomagic.co.uk http://www.leica-gallery.net/mark-pope http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.pope4/Galleries/PAW/index.htm - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Wajsman (private)" <nathanw@bluewin.ch> To: "LUG" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 3:44 PM Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAW 10: testing my CL > I recently bought Sonny Carter's Leica CL.
