Subject: RE: [Leica] More Noctilux stuff.

Chandos,
The picture certainly seems to capture that wonderful Noctilux luminosity. 
One might have wished for the girl's eyes to look slightly less 'dopey' but 
otherwise it has a gorgeous feel to it. The wide expanse of abstract 
'bokeh' provides a strong foil to the point of focus and interest.
Just read your post about the Green Leafe and your project, it sounds 
great. the sort of thing that so many of us could or should do. the pursuit 
of a project always creates a stronger body of work than wondering 
aimlessly or indifferntly looking for 'masterpieces'!
I've enjoyed many sessions photographing inside pubs, indeed the London LUG 
meet will recall that! In fact I've so many of a particluar friend from 
college days, I've often thought about collating them under the title, 
'Dave takes a Drink'!
I'm happy to see more.
All power to the Leica mystic!
Jem

I've been practicing quite a lot with the Noctilux and last week got some
stuff that really pleases me.  In any event, here's one of the images I'm 
messing around with:

Yrs in the Leica mystic.
