[Leica] IMG: Thanksgiving Shots

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Hi Barney. I think that you have accomplished your aim very well. Lovely 
warm and gentle family portraits and the 1950's look that
you were striving for. 
Easily my favourites are:
David and Granny.. for the active pose and Granny looking on,
Martha.. for the bright eyes and tiny smile. Lovely.
Hey there's some pictures in my family archives of a very youthful me 
remarkably akin to yours there.
Thank you for sharing these. More power to you. Make a lot more and be sure 
to show us.
Cheers
Geoff

When my friend Eric died I promised my self that I would try to take  
pictures of people. I don't have a picture of him and now it is too  
late. Here are my tries at people photography. I made these images  
this afternoon after Thanksgiving Dinner. I was going for a fifties  
traditional, retro look. I used my a Summarit f 1.5 50 mm lens on my  
M8. Please let me know what you think.

Grandson David and my wife, Granny Quinn........
