[Leica] New PAW

Thanks...I used the long lens because that's what I was carrying, having
borrowed it for a job Monday, I wanted to play with it. It was a pain,
though, because I had to back off so far. I'd still crop it the way I
did, though. And BTW, I really like your story. What I aim for myself -
and don't always hit, God knows, in photos like this - and want to see
in other people's "street photos" - is the raw material for the kind of
tale you just made up. Toward the end of the semester, each of my
students has to write a 1000 word short story based on Bill Clough's
"Madison." :-)

BD,

having looked at it again...

She's been writing (pen and paper on table) and she needs glasses (also
on 
table) at least for reading/writing. FWIW I think that she has been
travelling 
for some while (see rucksac) and has stopped for a coffee at Starbucks
or 
wherever you took this, has started to fall asleep etc...I DON'T think
she has 
her eyes on his wallet. My guess is he's too far away for her to make a
quick 
grab and a dash.

Now with that interpretation, which is one of many, would you crop it 
differently as the guy is no longer important? Cropping can change the
story.

Interesting that you used a long lens though and not a 50.

PS I still like it a lot ;-)
