Michael,
I remember you and your photos of Hong Kong. I can't believe its been two
years since you posted! Doesn't seem like its been that long. I'm working
on my masters degree now, have been for a couple of years, so I know how
that can keep you busy. Please post some of your portraits with the
antique lenses, I'd love to see them.
Chris
