Morningside Heights is tops. I will be going back to the Greek Symposium restaurant on 113th for my birthday later this month. Followed by desert at the Hungarian Pastry Shop down the street at 111th after a few quick snaps of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine across that street. This time full frame. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Marty Deveney <benedenia at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2011 16:02:23 +1030 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] New and Old Year photos > > I think my face is just blurry 8-) > > Is that with the 28/1.4 Nikkor? > > It was a really great night out. > > Marty > > On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 3:58 PM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> > wrote: >> After shooting the Cathedral we went across the street to the Hungarian >> pastry shop but the cat was gone.
