Welcome back Allan. Glad things worked out and all concerned are okay.

 

I figured when it got to be mid-morning on Friday you were indisposed, so I jumped-in. ;)

Exactly right, thanks again!

Hello everyone! I thank you all so much for your kind thoughts. I am completely fine, however my mother (who's nearly 92) is in frail health and Thursday evening had to leave the nursing home for the hospital emergency room. I had to travel immediately to Texas (I live in Maryland); with the expert care of those involved, she managed slowly but surely recover and is now stable. I was able to return this afternoon. Again, many thanks for your kind thoughts and comments!

And thanks to you Bill for jumping in to cover for me; I regret not getting in touch with you in advance of Thursday evening but I was just preoccupied. Hopefully I can give you a heads up in a more timely way!

So then, speaking of Texas, this is near my mother's residence, the Enchanted Rock State Natural area, taken with a Leica M8 and a 35mm f/2.5 Voigtländer Color-Skopar PII.

Cheers, Allan

Nice image, and hoping for a speedy recovery!

A superb photograph, Allan, and what a great way to remember your father. I, too, still have my father's camera, a Certo Super Sport Dolly.

I am sure it brings back great memories. I have my Dad's Nikkormat FT2 that I use when I want to remember him. Great picture.

Thank you Rick and James! It's amazing how such simple cameras can mean so much, especially when they can still be used to further the memory.

I also have my mother's Leica IIIg that she kept until recently... she's nearly 92 and finally decided it was time for me to take it over. :)

I haven’t posted here for a while, but in honor of my late Dad, whose birthday is today, who in 1974 opened up a dresser drawer to give me my first “real” camera, his circa 1947 ZI Ikonta C 521/2 (6x9) folder, here’s one of my recent favorites with this camera at the Pensacola Florida Beach.

Nice work. The 35 f2.5 lens was one of Tom Abrahamsson's favorites.

Many thanks Christopher! I love that lens, an excellent value that does the job nicely. It pretty much lives on my M8, but I use it frequently with my M240 as a moderate wide.
