You meet the nicest folks carrying Leicas…

Haven’t mentioned my latest “Camera Jones” just because there’s been no point up to now, but Saturday afternoon I wound up face to face with it.

Literally.

Met a nice gent with a very nice portfolio and a nice bit of kit just as I arrived at the Bayou City Art Festival in Memorial Park.  We chatted for a bit, and wound up, just in the natural course of things, facing off.  Mine’s bigger, but I think his is probably a bit more elegant in that classy understated way of the true Leica.

(yes, that DOES say “M8” at the bottom.)

Gotta get me one of them.

(The gent above is Mr. Art Forman of Houston; his galleries, should you have the common sense to go see them, are here.  Trust me, the rewards are well worth the click.  He appears to be owned by a number of very handsome cats, so you KNOW he’s good people.)

The other side of the faceoff is here .
