<p>Rather my latest than greatest ;-)<br /> Shot a bit with an old M3 after quite a while, it was great fun, even the development of some rolls, I just have trouble operating the scanner.<br /> <img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7442/9518122637_7902abbfab_b.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="689" /><br /><br /> M3+Summicron50 rigid, Acros in Rodinal</p>

<p>Nice start. Tom, Jim, Eddie nice and yes Mukul the 2nd photo does prove the quality of that lens nicely. <img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3691/9461315259_1d583aebe5_z.jpg" alt="" /> Fellow trad music guitar maestro, Nancy Comenscu and here beautiful "Doolin" guitar.

<p>Some great shots this week. I do like Eddie's very much, and I can only hope that Georg gets better with the scanner. I'm joking of course: sweet shot. Steve, I know how you feel. I saw the book of Salgado's Genesis on Friday night. Makes you want to give up photography. On the other hand, it's only because we know something that we recognize what an extraordinary achievement that collection is.</p><div></div>

<p>Very well put! I frequently think that many people do not understand what it takes to get a great photo. This leads to the devaluation of fine photography. People think that they could buy a camera at Walmart for cheaper than the price of a photo, then get the same results by standing in the same spot. If they were successful at this then they truly would be the 100th monkey. </p>

<p>As planned, her tall son, who was standing to my left, spoke to her when I signalled.</p><div></div>

<p>The son in question has a younger sister who is fond of him.</p><div></div>
