With that caveat I think it is imperative that you burn in the players to give the picture context. The tilt of her body is nice, she seems very much into what is happening below making it all the more important for the viewer to know she is reacting to music. I looked at your other PAWs and liked them very much. Very calming and studied. Nice indeed. You seem to use several B&W films. Do you select films for particular preconceived images, or are you (like me) searching for that perfect film? ;-) I'd be interested in the developers you use. cheers Jack McLain Tucson, AZ http://jackmclain-photography.dotcommunity.net - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Inter.net" <mcintyre@ca.inter.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 8:43 PM Subject: [Leica] PAW...for last week > I seem to be falling behind on my PAWs...only 3 months in!
