I love these shots. I was sure that the father in image 16 was about to make the sign of the cross. Can we assume that the cats name is Elijah?
These photos make me happy simply because I can see a family enjoying the festivals that God has given us.

I just acquired a nice, recently CLAed DR 50 Summicron. The DR was my first Leica lens ever, back in the 70s. Sold it long ago, regretted doing so ever since. So I'm about to find out if nostalgia is what it used to be.

I didn't really buy the DR as an available light lens, but this was the first opportunity I had to really try it out. The film is the discontinued consumer Kodak BW 400 (C41), which a lab gave me after a bad processing experience. It's OK, but T400CN is better. I'll have to shoot a roll of Tri-X and another of Provia to really get the feel for the lens. So far I like what I see, though. These are all shot at f/2 - 2.8.
