Itıs great to see photos and hear such talk about them. I only wish I could contribute more to the conversation, maybe I could possibly stimulate conversation with some pictures. Keep up the good stuff everyone. No matter what our experience level, whether we be professional or enthusiast, we all still have many things to learn. The idea behind PAW is fantastic. I recognize it's intent, to keep current, to encourage those who need it, to hear valid observations regarding one's owns or another's work. However, for even one who shoots as often as I do, itıs difficult to keep up with an actual picture a week. Iıve never even posted one before. Iıve decided to do what I can to post a Picture a Week. Belated as it may be. My shooting style is such that I probably wonıt literally post a picture taken on that given week. I may shoot in a matter of days enough to keep me going for weeks and then do nothing of note for as many weeks. Still, a picture a week is posted. There's no guarantee of it being current or actually shot that week. I'll try to keep it recent. Otherwise, I'll pull from the archive or post not at all. Should one post a random shot to satisfiy the paw? I have an extensive archive. So, here ya go. My first PAW. Actually, I'll post 6 for being so f*#@*ng late, one old, the rest mostly newish.... Week one... http://www.charlesharris.com/paw/nun.html Shot in Sienna Italy in a convent. I saw her approach and circled her with an M6 w/ 35 summilux on Kodachrome 64. She didn't even know I was there. This oneıs actually a bit of a tease as it is a couple of years old. Week two.. http://www.charlesharris.com/paw/hossboat.html I took a trip recently to Texas and northern Louisiana, sort of a ³coming home², and took a few of my wacky cousin, love him to death but he wouldn't shut up about fishing..35 summilux...i confess to shamelessly manipulating the color a bit.. Week three http://www.charlesharris.com/paw/hossteeth.html Another of the wacky dude. I confess I shot this on the Hasselblad. Itıs worth it though. Week four http://www.charlesharris.com/paw/texroad.html On that same trip I drove around alot. This one is simply a road. One we've all been down before. Alone. 35mm summilux Week five http://www.charlesharris.com/paw/father_son.html Thereıs has been a turbulent relationship. Sons and Fathers often have difficulties. Itıs only been recently that the two have come to terms. But still thereıs a distance. Week six I suppose itıs a sort of a family portrait. Not my immediate family, just family. http://www.charlesharris.com/paw/heables.html As always, there's tons and tons of Leica shots on my website, particularly in the Travel section... http://www.charlesharris.com charles - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
