OK NOW IT CAN BE TOLD! :-) 
Due to security releases finally being cleared and approved with safe time 
allowance for all ranks attending the Barcelona "GREET & SHOOT!"   :-)

This very beautiful young lady in the portrait was an under-cover security 
person! Few knew (only her Mother, Father, brother & myself)  that this 
beautiful lady was my "BODY GUARD!" Yep hard to believe, but she could 
vanquish a villain with the blink of her eye lashes and her wonderful smile! 
Her brother, no less a stalwart body guard, was my under cover Executive 
Assistant!" Sound good so far? :-) 

Between them all safety measures were covered during crossings of the Rambla 
or locations of major cobble stoned avenues. Curbs and anything possible for 
the "old lad" to trip over! This of course was necessary that the "OLD 
FELLOW?" ;-) Didn't take a tumble and fall upon his Leica M8... (actually an 
M14!!!) I bet none of you knew that part?  ;-)  Actually it was undercover 
tests on behalf of an un-named  manufacturer! True! 

Would I lie to you? 

"I was under threat of death if it were revealed before or during the 
Barcelona Happy Snap fun-time in disguise!" :-) All details about this new 
digital wonderkin machine will eventually be revealed at the next Photokina 
after the year 2020! :-) I knew you'd like that part! ;-)  But the very best 
part?

It will be less than half the price of an M9 and 4 times the.... "What are 
those little things that catch the light and make a photo?" 
Diggi-bites???????? ;-) Whatever? They make pictures you can see on that 
little screen on the back!! 

However, she is a beautiful young lady and her father couldn't go wrong 
taking pictures of her! :-) 

cheers,
? ( no name was released) 
"The unknown undercover agent tester complete with wonderful body guards! :-)
Relax it's only Wednesday! :-) Have some fun with it! ;-)
