[Leica] The missed pictures in my book of Paris

[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Dear Ted, buenos d?as querido amigo!

I'm always happy when I read your words but when they are like these  
ones ... you made me fly..., really happy, thank you, thank you very  
much for the personal apreciation for me and for my work, thank you  
for the fan Club... I will comment as Groucho Marx say, "I'll be be  
never a member on a Club that they admit members like me", thanks too  
for your grandson, he will be a great photographer with a such Master.

I have the same opinion as you about tonning, usually I never tone and  
my preference is for B&W as t is, but on this case I've hesitate for  
the same reasons you mention, even so, when I imagine the print in my  
wall... I prefer imagine it in B&W. My intention is announce prints  
selling, on such cases the buyer will choose.

I don't know if I have still much more good pictures from Paris for a  
new book, with these ones I've found some others I've just posted in  
my Blog

Thanks again my dear friend!

Cheers
