Subject: Paris, again...
 
Very few of my photos mean so much to me, as those from Paris...
As we plan another trip, I have been motivated to review, and rework images 
from earlier. Each time I see them,  new thoughts and emotions emerge. I will 
show some over coming weeks.
 
All are images from previous trips, some never seen, some shown before...almost 
all taken with leica M cameras, and film...
here's one...

Hi Steve,
I?ve just come in from ?working my garden?? I mean digging big time! It feels 
like I need a slight cooling off from the 86 degrees Fahrenheit temp.
So a break for a cool look at one of my favourite cities also, Paris! 
You have to love it in the cool of an evening sitting at an outside 
bar-restaurant watching the beauties passing by. J  Oh I mean watching the 
pleasant scene passing by. ;-)
Nice shot ?.. However! J
Now you know when you see, ?However? there is going to be a critical comment. J 
 Right?
So OK here it is.
You didn?t hold the camera straight!!!!! Look at the buildings right and left 
and you tilted the camera down and I now why. Because you wanted to make sure 
you had the lady?s feet and shadow in the frame for sure. Right?
But in doing so you spoiled the ?perfect? look to this very interesting moment.
Nit picking? Damn right, but that?s what sorts out the very good shooters as 
you are 99.999999999999999% of the time. Don?t feel bad simply because we all 
do it or have done it. But once this is pointed out, you will never forget the 
message any time you put the camera to your eye.
Bring on the next one! J
