[LargeFormat] Summer in the City

Hi Les:

LAUGHING!

As proclaims the subject... it's too darn hot for the big cameras!  So
most of what I've been doing of late is 35mm, (Minox GT and Leica R8)
and 6x6 with my Rollei 6008i and 3.5/40mm Super Angulon.  Did a wedding
with the Leica with 2/90mm Summicron and 6008i with 2/80mm Xenotar.

Just bought a fountain on ebay to make me think that I feel cooler.
