Leica users will understand... <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/45083330274/in/dateposted-public/> Girl in yellow: <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/45083329684/in/dateposted-public/> There's a story behind this last picture. Last summer, I attended an adult music camp. One of the pieces we played in the orchestra was the overture to an operetta by Camille Saint-Saens called "La Princesse Jaune" (The Yellow Princess). The story was about a young man who falls in love with the portrait of a Japanese princess dressed in yellow. In a dream, he travels to Japan and meets her, but eventually decides that his sweetheart back home is who he really loves.? So when I saw the young woman, I just had to take her picture.? I told her the story, she thought it was cool, and she posed for me. Olympus E-M5 and 20/1.7, 25/1.4 or 45/1.8.? Enjoy. --Peter
