[Leica] IMG: Lion Dancing

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

Hi Cedric, thanks for the kind words. A couple more may be coming :-)

Have you seen my "Chinatown" project?
http://richardmanphoto.com//Portfolio/Chinatown_web.pdf

I need to update it with some better images.

Indeed it's the Year of the Water Snake. Expect big changes....

As you may know, I have a Leica M9. In fact, I have had every single Leica
M mount digital camera since the Epson R-D1. The Leica lens are the reasons
to use them of course. However, I still photograph with my XPan a lot, and
also nowadays with a Shenhao 617 camera and soon Chamonix 4x5.

Nothing wrong with the M9, that's my go to camera, but I like the XPan
format a lot and I love the tonality I get with the large format cameras.
