Like 13 x 19's but a range of sizes. And that person is photographer Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe. And the two people standing in front of her prints here are New York (or Philly) NYLUG'ers. Paul Winkfield and John Lee. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/leicapeople/110922_195958b.jpg.ht ml And this the debut shot of my first Lug Gallery Gallery. Leica People. Which I will gleefully fill up with past snaps for my Leica friends I've run into over the years. Mainly the ones I've met from the LUG, LHSA, and the NY Leica gallery. I'm going to soon have another gallery gallery of gallery goers of all denominations. Some of them carrying Eos's no doubt. And looking at pictures done with paint brushes. A project I've been working on for a few years now. Mainly in Chelsea, NYC. And shot with Nikons popping fresh. On this shot the day before yesterday at the NY Leica gallery the reception was Thursday for Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe: "A Flower is a Lonesome Thing and notables of note" and there was free German beer for everybody and for those of us who are no fun nice fizzy water maybe from a melting glacier on Iceland I'd like to think. I'm glad the heat and humidity has broken. Those glacier's need a break. The inkjet medium is a wonderful process for such subject matter. Flowers. This show is worth a trip to NY just to see. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/
