I think there is yet another thing Paul teaches us: One camera with one (prime) lens can be enough to get impressive photos. I admit I often forget that fact. Regards, Bernd

Ils sont tous incroyable. You've convinced me of two things: First, it's always been a dream of mine to go to Paris some day. Now I want to all the more. Second, I don't want to get rid of my Leica :-( But, how did you do it? No autofocus. No matrix metering. No ttl metering. No metering at all! Didn't your wrist get tired cranking that winder all day? <vbg> Seriously, great work, Paul. That's a portfolio anyone can be proud of. cheers, frank Paul Stenquist wrote: > On a recent business trip to Paris I decided to stay over one day and > shoot some film.
