[Leica] My shy 2-year-old granddaughter: 1 portrait

[Jim Nichols]

Brian, I like the photo.  It is kind of like Ted Grant's statement about 
B&W versus color images.  I believe you have captured the puzzlement 
that kids these days must have about the times in which they, 
unfortunately, are forced to live.

You make me feel really old.  I have thirteen great-grandchildren, all 
older than Nora.
