Thanks very much for the kind words, Bart. Yes "Mina" is my daughter and 
perhaps my favourite portrait subject. Dad is a fellow
photographer and film camera enthusiast which is a nice extra bond to share. 
I'm sure you're right when you mention that the loving
connections really help with portraits. Good cameras document war zones, 
disasters and sporting triumphs, showing many aspects of
the human condition. I think family photography is one of the very best uses 
for them. Most especially for glorious Leica glass.

As an unrelated aside, nice to see someone else take the trouble to trim 
down a post when replying. Brian would be proud of us for
all of the saved bytes!
Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy, that's a great set of family portraits - I especially like the shot 
"Velvia Mina," of what I take to be your daughter, and "Dad Portrait."  I 
may be 
wrong, but I think it's almost only possible to get pictures like this of 
people you love, and who love you.

Bart
