Hi Aram,
Well, he is barely 65 which isn't all that 'old' in the modern sense, but then
again I'm 44 and move like I'm 74. :-)

I too don't care for that branch coming out of her head, but I never spotted it
in the viewfinder as I was joking with them before shooting thhe image. I
almost didn't share it because of branch, but I've gotten such good response
from others who've seen it I decided to throw it out there.

For some reason I put my Voigtlander 75 on my M8 almost immediately and shot
most of my images with it Even though a 40 and a 28 were sitting right in my
bag waiting to be used. The images seemed to be saying something to me as
tthings progresses until every guest was present in at least one image that
afternoon.
Thanks for the C&C
Richard
