[Leica] IMG: Wayback Photo - Environmental Portrait Two Ways+

[Douglas Barry]

Interesting images, Alan, but I think the focus or aperture is slightly 
different in both cases as the pillar/column in the Sinar shows more 
detail and Julian's face seems a little more defined in the Nikkor one. 
That said, age has gifted me an immature cataract, so who am I to judge. 
Someone more hawk-eyed on the list might have a different opinion.

Good stucco can be a wonderful thing and over here we have a lot of 
"great" houses which have really splendid examples of it at its best. 
However, without a string of agile servants armed with ready dusters, it 
is a difficult to keep clean. I'm glad I moved from our 1850s Victorian 
place to a smaller and less fussy bungalow with lower ceilings.
