[Leica] Don's PAW Waiting

[nathan.wajsman at planet.nl (Nathan Wajsman)]

Don,

These could be right out of my life! On Saturday my wife and I have been 
married for 22 years, and I have spent countless hours waiting for her 
outside clothing store, department stores and yes--inside IKEA stores in 
several countries... In the US it was especially rough, since the stores 
were usually inside shopping malls, and I simply hate those places. 
Also, we did not have mobile phones back then (pre-1995), so I really 
had to wait close to the store. Now, I just cheerfully wander away to 
take pictures or look at something else, and wait for the inevitable call.

Photographically, I like the airport picture the most--to me, it says 
"waiting" better than other three.
