[Leica] Some portraits

[Lluis Ripoll]

Don,

Thank you very much for your comments!  Yes, the Kodak Plus-X was my favorite film on the glorious film days of the past!

I’ve shoot several shots of the Curator commenting with Rita, but here I have only posted the portraits, it will follow more pictures.

Gary Winogrand have already said on his book  “The women are beautiful”, and I want to add “in many senses”…, I’m father of two daughters.

Cheers
Lluis
