[Leica] IMG: A Grandmothers Blessing

[Gerry Walden]

Herbert

Thanks for your kind comments. The cloud is from incense being burned in a censer which is passed around the bride in Greek Cypriot weddings by various members of the family.

The Royal Photographic Society gave me a one-man exhibition of street photography some time ago so I decided that I ought to get some kind of qualification with them prior to the show to add a little weight to it. Hence the LRPS. It is their basic ‘starter’ qualification and I ought to go on and get the next level at least but I have never been that bothered.

Kind thoughts,

Gerry

The lens was a Zeiss 50mm Sonnar f1.5. My favourite line whilst there was from the bride who said “We must do all the traditional things, even if we don’t know what they are!”
