Which I'd have to have living in Chicago, the buildings were all so short then. They had to tell me when we were "downtown". I was a displaced New Yorker for forty six years till I got back in 2006 and was staying in motels looking for apartments but walked down 5th ave with my inkjet in hand and camera in the other with 24mm lens and got this. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/onthisday/061016_163755xx.jpg.htm l Or http://tinyurl.com/3aw2cj9 I can see now I was a full 2 feet or 3 off and will have to go back and redo it. But I go darned close. I think my camera I used then a D200 takes sharper more clear images than my first camera; A Brownie Starlet. A few things have changed in my workflo. I no longer have to practically ask permission every time I click the shutter and hand the film to my Mom to bring it to the drugstore.
