You got it Hugo. I'll be 98 so that should be quite a sight. Something tells me the Voigtlander will still be prime if we can make it

Thank you. With the project I'm planning right now, that was important to see.

Super shot. It tells a great story. Imagine what his eyes have seen over the last 100 years...

Jim,

The more I look at your pictures here and on your webpage, the more I think I need to start collecting old cameras and lenses. Another fabulous shot. Thanks for sharing (both the picture and the story!)

That's a fantastic shot and a touching story. I've always believed in compassion through photography and this speaks volumes towards that.
