Over the past few weeks, comments have been made regarding the presence of old structures on the East Coast and the lack of them in Southern California. Being a transplanted New Yorker, I'm in full agreement, but I was still driven to find the oldest structure available within shouting distance and built a PAW entry around it. Hence, this weeks entry consists of pictures taken last weekend at Mission San Juan Capistrano. I arrived early, an hour before the docent tours began, and was able to tour the grounds freely and without throngs of tourists (Side Note: the Swallows arrive next week), and avoiding where possible, trappings of modernity. It was difficult to choose a single PAW. With that in mind, the PAW photo this week is of a simple bench, taken on Neopan Acros with my M4 and the 21 mm Kobalux: <http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=624449> Alternate 1 is of a distressed window in the mission courtyard, taken with a Minilux Zoom on Fuji Superia 400: <http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=624454> Alternate 2 is of one of the interior walls of the mission, M4/21mm Kobalux/Neopan Acros: <http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=624497> Alternate 3 is of the mission cemetery M4/35mm 'cron: <http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=624462> Finally, Alternate 4 is of another distressed window, this time framed by an arch, also taken with the Minilux Zoom: <http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=624443> The entire folder can be seen at <http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=190068> As before, I'm working off high-quality 4x6 prints made by a local Pro-lab and scanned on a cheap (as in $10!) 300 dpi/32 bit flatbed scanner with no software enhancement. As always, comments are welcome and encouraged. Fire away! Best, Ira Silverman - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
