This time we went to a huge WalMart there, and my wife was in heaven, being able to stock up on a lot of local staples but also hard-to-find American items (such as proper peanut butter rather than the organic stuff with oil on top commonly found here). The German retail sector can surely use the kind of competition a WalMart provides. Having said that, I hate being inside such places, so I hung around outside with my Leica: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_3.jpg (M6,Fuji Acros, 24mm Elmarit) My alternate this week is another Swiss landscape, this time near my home. It is a small mountain which provides a great place to take the dog and let her run around freely. This time I was attracted to the fog in the valley and shot this scene on infrared film. The IR effect is quite subtle, but it did cut through the fog--in reality the trees and the road down in the valley were not nearly as visible as here: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_3alt1.jpg (M3, 50mm Summilux, Maco 820 IR film) The complete PAW index is at: http://www.wajsman.com/indexpaw2002.htm and comments and critique are welcome as always.
