There are so many layers in this small square. I enjoy veiwing it and returning to it.

Love it, as your whole "photographic work". For me, It's a big pleasure to see your pictures... thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Shab. And I heartily return your compliment. I so admire your family and friends photojournalism. When the pandemic ends and we return to community, I'm going to explore more intimate photography. You have been an inspiration to me and I suspect many others.

Thank you, Pan. Remarkable is that it was done with a very old camera, a Leica from 1928.

Erik,

Lovely shot and a lovely camera. I don't think it's remarkable at all you created this photo with a very old camera. Leicas have been used to create brilliant images for almost a hundred years, and I imagine you have had this one for quite a while and are very familiar with it. Practice and skill count for a lot more than having a newer camera!

What I do find remarkable is that digital photographers can pick up new cameras every couple of years, digest a 500+ page manual, and somehow figure out how to make the things take pictures.

Thank you, yes, you are right, but I am always surprised what emerges from such a camera. The lens is good, but otherwise there are only a few screws, straps and catches in such a camera, almost completely worn out.

Erik.

I know what you mean. It's always a pleasure when an old camera continues to knock out great images. A few years ago I bought an old Pentax Spotmatic with a 50mm f/1.4 Super Takumar lens for $20. That camera is older than me (though not by much), and I wasn't expecting much from it, but the images I get from that camera and lens are just as good as those I get from my newer and far more costly Nikons. It's delightful.
