Folks -

Much as I acknowledge the power of the PAW in developing one's snapping 
acumen (Duke Ellington said that the way to learn composition was to 
write a tune a day and finish it) I continue to dig into personal photo 
work in concentrated doses.

So, I took a photo trip to New York for a few days.  Basic schedule 
took the following form: shoot pictures, go to galleries, check out 
gear, get film processed, eat, sleep, repeat.

High recommendations go to the following:

Shooting - Union Square, rooftops, jazz clubs

Viewing - The Leica Gallery, Klotz/Sirmone Gallery

Shopping - Photo Village, Tamarkin, Eli Kurland

Eating - Le Madelaine, Four Seasons, Il Truilli, Pompano.

Snap-a-day postings (from cheap & cheery scans available for quick 
turnaround) at

Contrast and such aren't the greatest but the negs look good; I'll 
hafta scan for real later. Outdoor shots with 21 VC stopped down, 
indoor shots with late spherical 50 'Lux wide open. I must say, the 
21/50/M thing really does it for me.

Comments always welcome.
