[Leica] IMG: Why is it that - Answer to Uncle TED

[Philippe]

Hi dear Uncle Ted,

thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated here. To cut a long story short, what prevented me from anticipating your sound advice was that couple in the middle. The guy looks elegant (by our European standards at least) and yet doesn’t wear socks, the lady seems to be on the lookout in the presence of strangers, and the whole scene is as crude as it gets by Diane Arbus’s motto. « Perceiving things as they are ». And here, in my view, they definitely did not belong to the local world they had chosen to « visit ». Of course, it is a technical flop. And yet I liked it. Am I a bourgeois as per HCB? probably not ;-)

Hope you’re doing well and still clicking strong.

Thanks a zillion again.

Amities

Philippe, plus hugs from Alice :-)
