[Leica] IMG: Bratislava

[Ted Grant]

Hi TINA,
I think I may have the jump on you by a few years in suggesting NATHAN SHOULD GIVE HIS PICTURES AND TALENTS A WHIRL AT THE TOURISM OFFICES IN MANY OF THESE CITIES & TOWNS. QUITE SIMPLY BECAUSE HIS IMAGE CAPTURES ARE ALL TOURIST AND TOURISM GRABBERS INDEED!
HE GRABS ALL THE KEY LOCATIONS IN SMASHING GREAT LIGHTING AND LIGHT WITH THE GENERALLY WELL DRESSED TOURIST LOOK IN SO MANY. WITHOUT SETTING THEM UP!!!!!
CHEERS

You keep extending my bucket list!  I now have to go to Bratislava.  The
chamber of commerce should hire you to promote tourism.

They are all the kinds of photos I like to see of a place I haven't been
before.

Thanks,

Tina
