We are now in the holiday of Sukkot and last Sunday I made a visit to Williamsburg (as I have done the past couple of years) to enjoy the bazaar that they have on the street filled with people selling the "four species" (consisting of various leaves and etrog fruits) that are used during this holiday.  Each of these has special spiritual significance and there are numerous laws governing the minimum condition that each of these "species" must possess and then the enhanced conditions that are not strictly required but nonetheless is praiseworthy to seek out, that is if you can afford it.  There was a lot of haggling going on and that of course was a big part of the fun.  I had to purchase my own sets of "four species" for myself and son and so enjoyed the art of negotiation along with everyone else.

Based on last year's results, I packed a roll of the Ferrarnia P30 in my M3 (with a 50mm DR Cron), which is no longer being sold although I hear that they are bringing it back.   I just love the deep blacks and torqued highlights in this film and feel that it is a perfect match for the atmosphere in Williamsburg with all of the black coats and hats.

You seem to have been the only one, who had fun, Adam. When I look at all these faces, even the childrens faces, there was nobody else having fun.

Good pictures, great film quality !

Ha ha, well, they have fun in their own way, most of them anyway.   Great observation, though 👌

Superb, Leica makes it Absolutely Superb...  L

Thanks, all.  There is an other worldly aspect to Williamsburg that makes it particularly alluring for a photographer.  And Leica absolutely shines bright in these situations 👌

So true . . . . Hope you do not mind me adding a few photos (from a couple of years ago) of the 'neighborhood'.  (Leica CL)
