Great picture. Great idea. Mostly I take pictures of the people around 
me.

This is my favorite picture ever, taken 50 years ago in my mother's 
kitchen in Adelphi, Maryland.

Same trouble as always: Chinese AI bots overload the gallery sucking 
pictures out of it.
They eventually finish for the day and then we can get in until they 
start up again.

This is my personal favourite taken 18 years ago in Rome with my Leica 
M3 (lens and film type I can't remember). I could find the film and 
print hidden upstairs in the attic in some box, but life is too short, 
as are my legs now with my collapsed knees. The photo has flaws, but I'd 
call it a goodish example of the decisive moment.

My children tell me I am certifiable, but are vague about the process.
