[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Two pics sent off this morning. Both B&W (and yes, I also ate sushi and drank single malt this week). Two different countries, but both have people in them, and both were made with my M8. I am normally totally agnostic about equipment but for the yearbook I do stick to Leica images.
