High level discussion Not really my forte - this 'event photography', but I was asked to take some pictures, so I did. This is Austria's 'First Lady' - Margit Fischer, wife of the Austrian president, in discussion with the president of the United Nations Women's Guild in Vienna. The occasion was the opening of the annual charity bazaar, where Margit Fischer gave the opening talk. I'm generally not assertive enough to get into the proper position quickly, and of course she was surrounded by her staff, people who wanted to see her and people who wanted to be in a picture with her.
Captain 2011-09-24 Another candid portrait from our Danube outing. Martin and his wife built the replica boat we were on, as well as reconstructing a 'shipboard mill' boat. I posted another shot of him in the dailies a while back http://www.jerrybarton.eu/gallery/12809003_GAzkc#1447272922_Ld8zM3V
Another Candid Portrait 2011-09-21 Another shot from Saturday's boat ride. This young guy speaks more languages than I do, was great fun on the trip, and even helped to row. I didn't do much here except remove noise, lighten the center a bit, and crop.
