I found your early images absolutely fascinating, thank you for sharing. 
Your talent at such a tender age is very apparent.

It is interesting that you were using the Zeiss 50mm Sonnar f1.5 which 
basically is the same lens as I have been using with great success. I am 
possibly selling mine as I have just acquired a Summicron-M f2 which arrived 
yesterday.

Just one question if I may - this is in the Franco period, were there any 
restrictions on what you could photograph as a private individual in those 
days? I have just watched a 3-part series about the Franco years, and it was 
certainly not the best of times in Spain.

Best wishes (as always)

Gerry
