I think she has a great face and would make an excellent subject for some more portraits. <I took a couple of A4 prints down to the shop and > gave them to the owner.

There have been a few occasions when we have met new people in France and I have taken pictures of them. When they get the prints, they have been delighted, to the point of inviting us to their homes for dinner as a 'thank you'. Great for the soul, but not so great for the liver :-) It's been pretty challenging too - as it has been necessary to explain some of the finer points of photography and printing in French - tricky for me but a great way of developing my French language skills. regards Mark Pope Swindon Wilts, UK http://www.monomagic.co.uk > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
