Hi Jim,
"Looking good?" :-) Thank you. But most mornings it takes the "MAKE-UP
CREW!" ;-) About 2 hours to get me ready to face the first cold winds of the
day! ;-)
cheers,
ted :-)

Hi Ted,
I saw a recent photo of you, you're looking good!
Thanks, again, for the kind words about my photos. I don't attempt to
get perfect shots of the butterflies, with everything staged. I just
catch them going about their business. Of course, it helps that I
baited the field with a bush that most of them take a fancy to.
Recently, I've had good luck using older Leica-R lenses, a 50 Summicron
and a 90 Elmarit. They may be from the 70s and 80s, but they still
perform very well at a reasonable price. The latest glass is just
beyond what I want to invest.
