I was SURE that there was a picture of him where he had a cigarette in his mouth. But, alas there was not. There was one of him in the mirror of a cigarette machine (USD$.35/pack). Anyway, the MOOD of your self-portrait reminded me of some of Lee's pictures. I think it's a good picture and wouldn't be the same without the cigarette. It's you. I won't dare comment on the cigarette debate. I will say that when I'm in a restaurant and bit of smoke comes over my dinner table I usually just shrug and say, "very European". If there's a lot of smoke I pretend like I'm back in Tokyo. Oh well. Best, John Fulton Fort Worth (PS--Go Mika Hakkinen--happy retirement). - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
