The All New More and More Fun With Digital M Images

My wife and my mother on Christmas Day at about 1:30pm, the lights of the Christmas tree reflecting in Mom's glasses. This with the M8 and the 35 Cron ASPH:



And here's my mother several hours later that same day, after she tripped on the sidewalk in front of her home, landing flat on her face. Her glasses shattered, cutting a large gash over her eyebrow. Fortunately, her eye was not affected. She spent a couple of hours in the ER, and they took an MRI of her head, but she's apparently ok, just very banged up. How quickly things can change!

This taken by my Dad with a pocket digicam.

Geesh Lloyd! I was admiring that wonderful image of your mom & wife & then my Heart Sunk on the second shot! Im so glad she wasn't seriously injured!
I've been through quite a few of those with my (departed) mom & it's devastating! That first shot is so nice, especially with the tree reflection in her glasses! Please give her my best!

This thread is full of extreme talent! Im not posting anything with my new M9 until i produce something worthy! :)

cmb_ Many thanks, much appreciated.

Steve, Thank you, my friend. She's doing well, all things considered. Just misses her glasses... and the $375+ it's costing to fix them! ouch x 2!

Just back from a trip to Cairo, so I'll be posting those for a while here. Went with M8 and M9 and a variety of lenses but carried the 35 Lux ASPH and 21 Elmarit pre-ASPH most of the time.

Lloyd: Beautiful photo of your wife and mother. The second was horrible. Glad she's OK. My mother turned 87 in mid-December and I worry. Best wishes for her speedy recovery. Cheers.

Thank you Matt. Much appreciated. My mother is 79, and is still going strong, but I can't help but worry. By the way, I found out that she was actually running to catch my Dad, who was about to drive away in the car!! Running?!?(Apparently her purse was in the car, and she thought she'd need it before he returned.) She said it was the first time in many years, and said, "it actually felt good, until I fell." Go figure. :eek:

Hard to keep a good women down! My mother bought the house next door to us and lives there by herself. She's close but independent. Cheers.
