It's about 70-years old. The Metropolitan Museum of Art operates it as a museum of Medieval art. I have been trying to get people in my photos more often and used this visit to push the envelope a bit. Visitors looked at art: http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/03_29_0341_web Studied the castle: http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/03_23_0335_web http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/04_15_0302_web and just took in the warm late-September mid-afternoon sun. http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/06_02_0177_web These were all shot with an M7 and either a current version 50 Elmarit or 35 mm Summicron ASPH on Fuji Press 400 film. The images are from professional 2 K x 3K scans converted to B&W in Photoshop with only the usual cropping and level tweaking done in connection with the conversion. Comments welcome as always. -- Regards, Dick Boston MA
