[Leica] Meeting Dr. Ted

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Hello Luggers,
Esther and I were invited last evening to Henning and Tanya's for a sushi 
spread to finally meet Dr. Ted. 
Ted and I figured out that we have been trying to meet for at least 8 years 
- 
despite me being a short ferry ride away every summer - we never made it 
until last night.
So with single malt and sushi, thanks to Henning and Tanya, last night the 
connection was finally made.
Keeping in mind Ted's dictum about shooting people's clothes in colour and 
their souls in black and white
the following photos, taken with the X Pro 1, have been converted to B&W. 
They are all taken with the
60mm f2.4, except for the two of Ted taken with the 90 Elmarit on the X Pro 
1 and the picture of
Henning taken with the Fuji X100. Please enjoy and look large.

Here's Ted - single malt glass in hand.

Thanks again to Henning and Tanya for setting up such a lovely evening.

And thanks to all, Ted, Tom, Tuulikki, Peter and Esther for their 
contributions to conviviality.

Cheers
