Great contributions Daniel - you were right to shoot film - beautiful  
grain and all.

I'm so sorry I also missed Mariela :-(
Next time for sure.

As to the portrait of the guy with the glasses,
and whatever the lens is and whomever it belongs to,
it is by far the best portrait of me EVER!
I'll have it printed 2x3m and  pasted on Alice's wall ;-)
even though she hates me sporting a beard,
which I had kept in memory of Fiesta/The Sun also Rises by Hemingway
i.e. Spain - July 4th - friends - San Firmin, etc.
  The rest of the plot is of course irrelevant.

I have already forwarded the link to Alice ;-)
Kudos, and thanks!!!

LR/PS/Gimp, so many things to learn and relearn at every release; stay  
with what you're familiar with, you're doing a great job with it :-)

Thanks again for taking the time to soup, scan, edit, and share.
Amiti?s
Philippe
