[Leica] A visit with Dr. Ted

[pklein at threshinc.com (Peter Klein)]

On our recent trip to Vancouver Island, we made a stop in Victoria for a 
wonderful visit with our own Ted Grant.  Katya had never met him before, 
so she got to hear some of the classic Ted stories for the first time.  
Of course, I couldn't resist documenting the occasion, though I did 
resist climbing all over the furniture to get better angles.   :-)

Here's the entire set:

My favorites are 0014, 0024 and 0029.  0024 shows Ted describing the 
aftermath of his almost being left on the ice by a Canadian icebreaker 
("and the Captain was *this* far from my face...") 0029 is in Ted's old 
darkroom, describing his flight in a P-51 Mustang (his photo of that 
event is on the wall behind him).

The first one is "the one that got away."  When we pulled up in Ted's 
driveway, there was a deer in his front yard with half the antlers on 
one side missing. After saying hello to Ted, I grabbed my camera, framed 
Mr. Lopsided Deer, and he bolted.  All I got was his south end beating a 
hasty retreat.

Olympus OM-D E-M5, but Leica had something to do with the 25/1.4 and 
maybe the 20/1.7 used.

Enjoy!
