Sometimes we spend time with friends or family
\nand it feels like we’ve watched ‘this movie’ several times already.
\nOther times it feels like a more precious sharing of time and ideas.
\nWhat makes one feel like saying, “I’ve missed you.”
\n“I enjoy your wit and humor.”<\/p>\n

Rich and I met over coffee at Fiddleheads.
\nWe shared thoughts on aging, memory, family, photography, electron microscopes, brains, consciousness, meditation, blogs, facebook and social media and probably more.
\nIt had been a long time since we just “talked” about subjects that didn’t relate to Rich’s business, photoshop, lightroom and website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Paul Caponigro challenged us with,\u00a0“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like,
\nit’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.”<\/div>\n
\n
Alfred Stieglitz claimed, “In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(of course you can click on the photograph for a larger view)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As Rich and I exchanged thoughts
\nI gazed over Rich’s left shoulder to see
\nothers exchanged kisses.<\/p>\n

Henri Cartier-Bresson\u00a0allegedly said,
\n“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.”
\nand
\n“Sharpness is a bourgeois concept.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All of a sudden, I realized my favorite lens, the 50 mm Summilux Asph
\nwas front focusing, considerably, on my M8.
\nDamn. And the 28 too? Double Damn
\nI’m feeling so bourgeois as I fret over adjusting my rangefinder and consider sending my kit off to Leica for CLA.<\/p>\n
