PAW 5 and 6 2007

Filed under: PAW 2007 — at 1:01 pm

The last two weeks have left me run ragged, but I am finally home again and can post a PAW. It hasn’t been only work. Last week-end some LUGers from the Benelux area and I met up in Brussels.

A LUGer is a member of the LUG (Leica Users Group).

But first I was in Oslo. Visits to Oslo have been less and less frequent, and I feel better and better about it.

So I am not hang my hat there very often and calling it home any more:

Hat in Oslo S

But the trip Brussels was nice, very nice. There are some shots from the visit at my shoebox for these weeks.

For a week 6 main I chose:

Side street to Grote Markt

While I was walking around, I came across a group of young girls at the market place looking for people with blue eyes. Now that all the LUGers who could really speak French were gone, I dared to carry on a conversation in French and explained that I might not fit the criteria; someone might say my eyes are green.

They fetched their leader (teacher). She approved of my eyes and the teacher took a picture of them with me as proof. In this shot, we are in the middle of discussions about what color my eyes are:

Are his eyes green or blue?

All of those were taken with a IIIf. The IIIf is an older Leica camera. I like it because it is small and is easy to have along.

The lens in the first one was a Jupiter-12, a Zeiss Biogon copy from the former Soviet Union (FSU), and the other two were taken with a Voigtländer Color-Skopar 21mm.
