Subject: [Leica] More with the IIIF

Hi Daniel,

I agree with you, when you travel your eyes are more easily impacted by the
visual effect of the non usual things you see. Recently you had showed an
excellent work on this style "Walking ... or a walk with the IIIF", I find
that every camera inspires you a little bit differently, probably because
you visualize on your head the effect of the camera/lens choice, when I have
the IIIF on my hands it gives me a special sensation of freedom and
discretion, maybe more than with an M. I think that people can not believe
on the pictures of a such old camera!.

Your project is very interesting, and I think that such project is very nice
and necessary for us, is like for a pianist do the exercises and have always
the practice. I'm sure you will obtain great pictures and nice works, as
usual, with your IIIF, I wait for see them...

Thanks for looking
Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Luis,

I enjoyed this series, the indoor shots most of all.

Alastair said, on another list (the print exchange list) that it was
uninspiring to take pictures around "home". It is difficult to
visualize mundane sights. I enjoyed his attempt as well as I enjoy
looking at your and Nathan's little tours.

I have a little project. One of these days I am going to stop,
mechanically, every 50 paces are so and take a picture on my way from
point a to point b. I don't live in an exotic place, but that might
make it interesting, to see everything sights from somewhere else.

Daniel
