[Leica] Nathan's PAW 1: More from Poland

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard S. Taylor)]

Nathan - These are all absolutely terrific.  I 
particularly like the way you captured the gold 
color in the cafe and the nice interaction 
between the couple in the first shot.  Should I 
assume these are digital capture from your 
comment that the first two were "quasi-Leica" 
shots?

Am looking forward to seeing much more from you.
