[Leica] IMG - More from Italy in 2003

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Douglas,

I really like your B&W work, and these are nice.  However, in the case where 
you furnished both B&W and color, I have to choose the color version.  The 
addition of color adds spice to the photo.

Thanks for sharing.
