[Leica] My unconfined today walk - "faire chanter"

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Blackmailing / "faire chanter" ... the allusion is obvious in the French language. But as well as it is common to make a musical instrument "sing" - strings specifically, "faire chanter les cordes," ... I believe using the expression in the field of photography, and as a reference to Lluis, provides for a wonderful image! JM

To avoid causing Lluis the embarrassment of having to explain, I should
confess that I liked his work so much that I gave him my Noctilux. I
realized that I hadn't used it in 20 years, and knew that he could make
it sing.

(Pour éviter à Lluis d'avoir à expliquer, je dois admettre que j'ai
tellement aimé ses photos que je lui ai donné mon Nocti. J'ai réalisé
que je ne l'avais pas utilisé pendant 20 ans et je savais qu'il pouvait
le faire chanter l'opéra.)

I note that the direct French translation of "make it sing", "le faire
chanter", is a figure of speech implying Mafia and not music. But I am
pretty sure that, like me, Lluis loves opera.
