[Leica] Photos on the Web

["Gib Robinson" <robinson@sfsu.edu>]

I just finished posting photos to the MSN "Leica Community" site set up by
Hans Pahlen. I posted four separate "albums" of slides I took for a
pre-school auction dinner event.

The URL below is to one album -- a group of portraits. Of the remaining
three albums, the first is titled "We All Hold Hands" -- the governing theme
of that group which features a "dancing lesson" given to a 4-year-old girl
to one of her classmates.

The third album titled "Project" contains slides of a chair-building effort
by the "Gray Whales" at the school. The final album, titled "Face Painting"
depicts the very creative face painting done by a teacher at the school.

The slides I took (now 240 in all) are intended to highlight the character
of the school by documenting the interactions of kids with each other and
teachers with kids. I didn't often focus on individual pre-schoolers; but,
inevitably, I got drawn into taking some candid portraits. It was a
delightful project.

Most of the slides were taken with an R8, an 80-200 f/4 zoom lens with E200
slide film. It turned out to be a great combination of film and equipment
for this project. The film was fast enough to give me a reasonable chance to
stop the action of kids moving at high speed and sufficiently saturated to
give good results.  When you have a moment, please take a look:
