[Leica] At work in the Darkroom

[Lluis Ripoll]

Ah! Thanks so much Peter!

I keep great memories of my friend! He knews me when I was a child and I’ve shoot my first pictures with a Kodak Baby folder camera from my mother. When I was a young man he explained me things about photography, on his Studio I saw the first Hasselblad in the lates fifties, I still keep the fotometer Zeiss Ikon IKOPHOT I’ve bought to him and I will never sell it!

Great marvellous memories!
Lluis

However, I like to include these series of a few photographs from my extensive archive that you know about.
