Here are some Leica photos I wanted to share with the group. I was inspired by others who posted photos (Roberto). http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder.tcl?folder_id=51460 Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Tom Gallagher

Tom - Excellent! The 'dog walker' is a fine moment but my favourite is the third photo: of your wife and mother. You have captured a wonderful fraction of time and this must surely be a treasured memory of your family in such obvious joy.

Nice photos Tom! I agree, the timing on the dog walker shot is perfect... what a strong dog.

Question regarding the shot in the mosque: The hanging lights almost merge to give the illusion of light beams on certain wires. Is this an optical illusion? or... flare that is over lapping? or... are they just actually touching each other? I don't know why, but my eye went right to that streak of light and my curiosity was charged.

Hi Al,

If I remeber the lights are seperated although not by much. I'm not really sure why it recorded that way. Fow what it's worth it was taken with the 24ASPH.

I knew some of your work Tom; the one of the dog, what to say, it takes me out of valance mentaly; and you know how bad can I be about that, the one of Arleen and her mother I hadn´t seen; and my favourite is the inner place with the ligth coming in; and I can´t see the detail as I do in the copy of it you sent me before, that ceiling is just amazing, and the attitude of this man with ligth as beard. Thank´s for share Tom.

Hi, Tom:

Good to see your work. Thanks for sharing. It isn't easy to point out a preferred photo amongst the ones you show in this opportunity. All of them have something in particular to be appreciated. The dog walking its master is a clasic example of street photography of course. I'll make it my choice this time. Thanks again. Bring some more . . .
