Met Dr. Who at the Leica event. He asked if I'd be interested in a ride in his Tardis back to about 1965. Hoped on. Found when I got back to 2012 that my NEX-7 with 24mm f/1.4 Summilux had taken pictures that looked like they'd been shot with a Bessamatic and Agfa film. Who knew?

I always knew it wasn't a good idea to mix traditional with modern: just look at jazz!

Anyway, thanks for the ride in the Tardis - but it'll never be a Mustang!

Forty-Seven years later and it is still a nice photo.  Thanks.
