[Leica] new hoppy black and white effort

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Hoppy,

Then your dad did well. It's a good shot. But there is this slight look 
about 
his mouth that says that this is not exactly the first time you have asked 
him 
to do this....and that given half a chance he is going to show you what 
**he** 
can do with that F2 :-) It's the sort of thing that only becomes clear in 
B&W, 
in colour you'd be distracted. B&W - as Ted often says - lets you focus on 
the 
sitter's soul.
