I only met this gent once - at a local Leica Group meeting some years ago. I recall another member telling me he was seriously ill at the time. I have not met with the group now for a number of years so do not know the outcome for him, but I expect this accounts for his rather wan appearance and introspective look. In this sense the image is important (unlike most of my shots which I have to admit to being more trivial even when they do sometimes manage to look good.)

This shot was made in the late 1980s on a trip on the Brigantine "Eye of the Wind" around the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea while visiting the remote Laughlan Islands in East Milne Bay Province of PNG. This young boy was a participant in a local "custom day" when island customs were being celebrated. Shot on slide film (most likely Fujichrome) and recently scanned and converted to B/W.

Thanks Dogman, it's the first time I took the recently aquired Q.C. 135/2.8 Nikkor out for a real road test, balances and works nice on the D200 and almost pleased with the set I took, it was a busy day, local music festival and there where lots of people about but considering that, it worked out OK, still exercising the brain after my 20 yr break.
