w/nw: Picture of the week: #40

[lutz]

Thanks for taking interest. What struck me was the apparent juxtaposition of religious, hmm, insignia - aureola vs. burka. As far as being interviewed is concerned, when taking the picture I was in fact the one being questioned by these girls' arts teacher who wanted to know what exactly I was interested in. I explained it to her, she asked me where I came from and was surprised to learn that an equally apparent cultural mix isn't as common in Switzerland as it is in London. So she just asked me to respect the girls' anonymity, which I did. I'm still wondering if the reverse situation (i.e. Christians studying Muslim art) would present itself as equally photogenic...

Thanks Clive. It was shot on old stock Kodak EPH transparency film at 1600. That film has been gone for years but I have a

couple of bricks in the freezer. Lovely stuff. I used a Contax G1 with a 35 at f2.8 if I recall.

Alex, you shoot with an M8 and a Nikon SP? Awesome. Talk about two ends of the rangefinder family tree.

Thanks, Orville! The M8 is back at Leica with the hickups.
