[Leica] [OM] IMG: The Blessing, Redone

[Tina Manley]

Believe me, I tried every angle.  From the other side, the flowers were in
the way and the rail for the stairs was growing out of his head. I took
many photos from both sides and the front.  The best ones were from stage
left.  The only problems were the visor and the mike.  I couldn't remove
the visor, but I could wait until he took it off momentarily.  I could not
remove the mike except in PS.  I will keep both files, with the mike for
documentary or news, without the mike for stock or promotional use.  I
can't imagine that HHDL would want photos of himself with a mike in front
of his mouth to use for brochures or websites.  I have not altered reality
since his mouth was there behind the mike all the time!!
