[Leica] 2012 BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Dear Ted, buenos dias amigo!

Thank you for these words, coming from you, are for me the highest  
value and make me feel a thrill. I have practiced photography at a  
young age, although in recent years much more intensely, I kept my job  
without sharing up to the LUG gave me the opportunity to show and  
share opinions and that was for me a great opportunity that has  
encouraged me through people like you to look in my files and tease  
out things I had a great love ...  but secretly, what you said and be  
in the list makes me happy, here I found true friends around the world  
with whom we share not only the common fondness for photography, but  
much more.

cheers
Lluis

> Hi Nathan,

> While I'm at it, I must make a major reference to Lluis's new book  
> on Paris!! My good fortune? I ordered it before I arrived in  
> Barcelona. "Paris, mes souvenirs." If one has any kind of feelings  
> toward interesting people photography, this is an absolutely must  
> have book!"
>
> Look, we all know the names of the street shooters of the past. HCB,  
> Doisneau and many others.
> Great and wonderful street moments by all, no question.
>
> However? Lluis Ripoll? Well many of us know Lluis only because he  
> posts remarkable photos to the list. But to see a collection in his  
> book on Paris!!!! The only thing I can say with great admiration  
> is.... "Move over all you old guys of the past as there's a new guy  
> on the block!"
>
> I have several HCB books.... many with the same pictures as always  
> seen when people talk about or show his photography. Actually most  
> of you know nearly all of his most admirable photos because we've  
> seen them a hundred or more times.
>
> Lluis? Get the book and be blown away without question! As this man  
> and photographer has a talent few of us would hope to have. Look  
> this isn't BS! Simply how many times have we all given him praise  
> for a few posted pictures taken, in some cases, the same day he shot  
> them! Not an HCB from 80 years ago shot during an entirely different  
> attitude of society.
>
> I believe copies can be purchased directly from BLURB. So may I  
> suggest without question buying a copy will be the best money spent  
> for a photo book bar none.
>
> No I don't have any connection with Lluis other than he is a friend  
> and one of the most observant of street life photographers I know.  
> Who is alive and well and not some name from the past.
>
> Order it! You can not go wrong!!
