[Leica] Style and streetkids

["Scott Squire" <scott_squire@hotmail.com>]

Howdy, Slobodan
(awfully sorry for misspelling your name)
Well, let's see what shakes out when the images are up. I have been doing 
largely as you advise, with the 40mm (or the 35 on the F100) and/or the 60 
most of the time. I've been trying to find my way around the bubble of a 
15mm as well. I'll be awaiting comments from the moment the pics are 
up--again, sometime Friday if all goes as planned. I like the picture you 
linked to. I would enjoy talking more (especially this kind of 
talking-with-pictures) about the wide abilities of a single focal length.
Cheers
Scott

ps, and a note to all of you who've supported me in this: I apologize for 
the lapse in content's getting up on the web. The project has not been 
stalled at the taking end--only at the presenting. And it won't end when I 
fly home from Bucharest. Thanks again.

Since you education was shabbily misdirected by a zoom lens, try
using,
at best, only two lenses. A 35mm for normal usage and the 50mm
for a
telephoto, with the 50mm used very, very sparingly. Below is a
sample of
the 35mm at work. I didn't even know I had the shot until I
looked at
the negs. Human beings are extremely kinetic, even when sitting
still
for some reason. It helps to stay loose and NOT think about
anything
else other than the composition.

I think the essay, in the print version, is my R8's entrance
unto the
playing field. It's finally starting to earn its keep.
The correct spelling of my first name is Slobodan, by the way.
Best,
Slobodan Dimitrov<<<
