[Leica] Student gallery from the workshop

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Wisconsin!! Why I know some really good photogs down that way! Check out
that George guy with the amazing eye for design and composition and
philosopher's heart for one.

I was interested to read the other comments where Paris is only for BW and
color is 'jarring' too.
Hmm possibly why the fifty or so of mine with  no HCB mind-set sank without
trace then ;-)
 It was cool to recognise the locations where Leo was shooting though.



Cheers,
Geoff
