epand56 Posted July 6, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2009 Fantastic picture Wilfredo, it made me feel like going to browse in the old family pictures. Is that the same Leica you're using today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted July 6, 2009 Meet the photographer. My elder bother Gilbert took that picture of Mildred and I around 1967 with a Minolta rangefinder if memory serves me right. He's old enough to be my father (I'm the youngest in the clan) and the young girl (Mildred) is his step daughter. While visiting my brother in Puerto Rico where I took this profile portrait shot with my M8, we went through the old family albums and slides. I cloned my M8 and hung it around my shoulders for the classic shot from my childhood. That shot was taken in the Bronx. I am happy for my brother, his dream of going back to the island of Puerto Rico after retirement came true. You can see the ocean from his back porch :-). His house is a long way from the Bronx. Thank you for the fun comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted July 6, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wilfredo, Indeed, a classic shot. You have done well these many years with your Leica M8. Paul LOL, who would have thunk it that the M8 would me around so many years? One thing is for sure, the classic look of the M camera was cleverly retained in the M8.

(Yo trabajé despues dos años como redactor del artistas y photographos por el San Juan Star (RIP).) Andy, "Hay Bendito" that is so Puerto Rican! I was a bit homesick for the island myself, I had been away way too long. I have fond memories of the San Juan Star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
