J – A portrait.
Two distinct moments captured seconds apart, but requiring two different treatments.

Both images taken with the Leica M9 and Leica 50mm Noctilux @ f/1.
[I just acquired this Noctilux and will be working it into the rotation of daily photos, though not every day, of course. At some point, I'll summarize my thoughts on it.]
New lens.
A new lens is being worked into the rotation, starting tomorrow.
The picture says it all.
(Edit: It’s the Leica 50mm Noctilux f/1.0, E60 version)
C – first day of wearing glasses.
She was self-conscious about her new glasses. She hates getting attention – any attention, whether good or bad. So, the glasses are bad.
She was even upset that we took her for an eye check-up, to verify what we suspected – that she wasn’t seeing properly.
But, she looked beautiful and I wanted to get a shot of her on her first day with them. However, life being life, offered just this moment.
It’s morning. We’re all headed for school.
All three are about to run. In a matter of seconds, C will trip, fall, and skin her knee. So this is the shot that survives for posterity.
Her injury, however, distracted her from her glasses.
Life, being life.
