You got it,Ted...Of course 40x60 was the only way to go starting with a
100 mm lens from the 9th floor, a block away from the scene...;-)

It's OK B.D. at yer age we still love ya, cause everyone's allowed a
mental moment once in awhile! ;-)

Interesting photo even though you blew it up to 40' X 60' . ;-)

And the W. Eugene Smith Blues? Heck I've gone through those right in the
middle of an assignment in some strange city after a long day and
looking down on the street below.

The consoling thing is..... once in awhile you look down and see some
wonderful photo moment that in the blink of an eye it's back to reality
and "Geeessssuuuss look at that!!" And you snap back into action, grab a
camera making a few very nice traffic, people, whatever the motivating
moment was photographs.

And for those of you who've never been touched by this quiet moment of
all alone in a hotel high above the city below in a strange city blues.
It's a wonderful experience to have when the  photo motivation light
flashes on, the Leica becomes hot in yer hands as you shoot away making
some neat pictures that you'll probably never use, but they make you
feel good and not alone any more!
