Beautiful photos with short cut-lines. GOOD ON YOU!!!!!! You "the photog" were physically there but the people didn't see you because you were silent with nothing more than "dynamic observation" and a quiet click of a LEICA! The most important part? "Keeping ones mouth shut, but for the once in awhile almost silent click of a Leica!" You have a cross-section of lenses allowing you to reach into the scene without the subjects being the least bit aware you are taking their photos. Your movements are carefully chosen not to create the least amount of visual distraction as you move carefully about the room. And finally you have a wonderful understanding of using available light! I would say quite similar to Lluis in Barcelona in how he makes himself invisible when standing but several feet from his subjects! Amazing to watch and admire him click away and the subjects rarely if ever make any point he's but a few feet away from them! This documentary of yours is an incredible learning project for many of the crew who's photography is but a series of one photo a week or so. Of course they expose more than one frame, but of the same object/subject/whatever? But not telling a story with photos. Well done girl looking through a series on the same subject and observing the telling of a story can be so inspiring! Wonderfull!! cheers, Ted Grant OC --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
