[Leica] New and Old Year photos

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

After shooting the Cathedral we went across the street to the Hungarian
pastry shop but the cat was gone. So I had my baklava all to myself.
Here's Marty as were were about to leave we were in a dark corner.

We had a great time.

His face is soft not because of missed focus which is how I think it looks
but because of a quick turn of his head in a left to right direction.
For a sharpness check look at the buttons on his shirt.
This was very low light. I had to light a  match to check my id in my wallet
to remember what my name was.
