Hi, Frank. Thanks for your kind thoughts! Re your 'what do you want'
question, I've yearned to go to the Long Beach Aquarium since it opened so
as to get some neat aquatic compositions with my M6 or R8 but have not yet.
Armed with fast, fast film and various lenses, perhaps this would result in
a very interesting get-together for us post-shooting, not to indulge in "I'm
better than you" exclamations but merely to have fun simply discovering what
all of us captured on our respective emulsions and lenses. This would also
generate very interesting moments involving seeing what the numerous Leica
lenses present at the shoot accomplished under the difficult lighting. I
could do some Web research on aquarium technique and forward the link(s) to
all who would intend to participate before the date we choose. BTW, tripods
and monopods are no doubt banned; thus the mentioning of fast, fast film.
Let me know what your thoughts on this are. Meanwhile, I have no other
immediate preferences as to subject material and would welcome location and
subject suggestions from the other participants who were in Chinatown. Oh--I
forgot to again thank Slobodan for generously providing batteries for my M6
on yesterday's shoot. I've never had batteries expire while out shooting and
he was truly a lifesaver! Based on his generosity, I'm holding no grudge
against his daughter for suddenly reaching her food-tarnished fingers into
my Billingham bag at the lunch table and splattering my 24mm ASPH lens'
glass with soy sauce, plum sauce, or whatever it was! Besides, Joseph
Codispoti's outstanding ClearSight lens cleaner, as always, did a
magnificent job in cleaning the muck off. Thanks, Slobodan!
