The guy in the blue shirt [http://www.wajsman.com/40alt2.jpg] could be my twin, minus the beard. Very odd. Several times in my life I have seen or been mistaken for others that are doppelgangers with me. Really enjoyed seeing the series. /Mitch Zeissler - -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Wajsman [mailto:wajsman@webshuttle.ch] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2001 5:06 PM To: LUG Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAW 40 - Oktoberfest Last week I realized one of my life's long-standing ambitions, to visit Oktoberfest in Munich and drink the golden brew from 1-liter mugs. My business associates in Munich told me that this year's event is suffering greatly due to lack of visitors, but I found the place pretty crowded nonetheless. It is true, however, that the events of September 11 had an impact on Oktoberfest; for a while it was in doubt whether it would even go ahead, but in the end it was decided to proceed with the main event while skipping many of the traditional ancillary activities (e.g. beauty contests etc.). So, here is a selection of my photographs from last Monday night. All taken with the Leica M6 and 35mm or 50mm Summilux lenses; the color pictures on Fuji Provia 400F and the black & white ones on Ilford Delta 400. Main picture shows a couple of happy guys in a beer hall: http://www.wajsman.com/40.jpg And the alternate pictures depict various scenes, as follows: Alternate 1: People sang... http://www.wajsman.com/40alt1.jpg Alternate 2: and danced. http://www.wajsman.com/40alt2.jpg Alternate 3: They were friendly... http://www.wajsman.com/40alt3.jpg Alternate 4: Very friendly! http://www.wajsman.com/40alt4.jpg Alternate 5: But behind the scenes people worked hard... http://www.wajsman.com/40alt5.jpg Alternate 6: especially the waitresses, one of whom takes a deserved break... http://www.wajsman.com/40alt6.jpg Alternate 7: and the cooks... http://www.wajsman.com/40alt7.jpg Alternate 8: and even the musicians. http://www.wajsman.com/40alt8.jpg The main index is at: http://www.wajsman.com/index.htm and comments are welcome and appreciated as always.
