Thanks a lot friends.
autochrome- I have yet to try RAW but even JPG are more then good enough for me. Being mostly B/W shooter I`m satisfied. Color is different matter, to get most of it one should use RAW, I guess.
iaeaix- that`s true. Unfortunately I knocked couple times the lens disabling its macro function which is a minor pity but still. It`s not called macro for nothing. I copied slides with it. Edge to edge sharpness. I`m so fond of it, that should I have chance to get another fully functioning for small change, I`d get it.
dancook- as to David Bailey, the age might be the same, fame and beautifull women of the life definitely not.
christian- nr.6 should be blow-up to see the details of sleeping chaps. In fact, it`s for time being is land of milk and honey for them, . Reasonable tolerant country, free charity food, nice weather to sleep outside, and picking up the beer bottles and cans earns them more then manual work in Romania from where they come from, being Romas at that.
As I said once, I`m a bit aimless chasseur dìmages but I discovered that`s very hard to make just a picture telling something general about complex human condition with its joys, tragedies, absurdities and clarity and confusion. That`s why I try now to compose a set of pictures that together leave you with wondering feeling. You were talking about nr.6. Well, it`s not accidence that I put nr.5 before it. If displayed side by side they would amount to a granddaddy reading goodnight story to chaps sleeping under tree. It`s a bit diffy to explain but if I say that I´m fond of Surrealism and Fluxus, that might help. Stanislaw
