I went first to New England for a high school reunion and side visits with old friends. Later it was on to Austin, Texas for Passover with family transplanted there from New York. I used my "good enough" camera, the Panny G1 with 20/1.7 lens and kit zoom. From the first part of the trip, here are a few of the more "ahtistic"* shots. (*Note that aftah a few days around Bahston, you staht tahkin' like this) Quintessential New England (Norwich, VT, just across the Connecticut River from Dartmouth College): <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060123.jpg.html> Spring runoff at an old mill, now a restaurant <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060127.jpg.html> Covered bridge (and no, I'm not!) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060131.jpg.html> Yummy! <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060134.jpg.html> Concord, MA: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060165.jpg.html> I'd never seen a tombstone made out of rose quartz before (Wakefield, MA): <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060179.jpg.html> A seriously impressive teak view camera belonging to my friend Doug. He coats his own glass plates, just like they did back in the late 1800s. The camera came from India. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060182.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060183.jpg.html> The perfect book pairing: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060184.jpg.html> A couple of old friends reminiscing (Lexington, MA): <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060190.jpg.html> Me with feet firmly planted on New England granite (Breakheart Reserve, Wakefield, MA) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060215.jpg.html> My old friend Alison, hiking... <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060219.jpg.html> ...and Skyping with her son in London. The first time I've taken a portrait where the subjects were 3000 miles apart. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/friends/boston2011/P1060227_Corr.JPG.html> Enjoy! --Peter
