Buenos d?as querido amigo Lluis,
Given the super positive reactions of my family when looking at your new 
book, ""Paris, mes  souvenirs" ....

I thought a comment by my grandson who graduated from photography academy 
last year was most interesting as he was studying each page... "Hey G'pa, 
this book is much better than that French photog, "what's his name? 
Something HCB?" So Lluis stand tall you have another Canadian fan! :-) Gee 
we'll have to start a "Lluis Fan Club of Canada!" :-)

I bet you have many more photos like "Fanny-tea" that you could do another 
Paris book next year and have another hundred or more unseen photos much 
like "Fanny-tea?"  By the way on a previous post you showed a toned image 
and un-toned image.

As much as I'm not enthusiastic about toned B&W photos unless as "photo-art" 
fashion of flowers .
In this case, "Fanny-tea" the toning adds a tremendous amount of "aging 
old-time photo" which I see as a very enhancing effect. Creates an entirely 
different century in time.

It adds years of wonderful visual times long before the rat-pack world we 
live in today! :-(  As I've said before.... "Move over Henri there's a new 
kid on the block!" :-)

Yes it's a wonderful image in B&W, no question!

But toned?  It becomes a time machine photo taking us back decades & decades 
in time to the past! I love it!:-)

cheers,

ted
