Hello! Forties

A lady taking a call in the local museum. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

Taken in a local museum with the Leica X-Vario. At ISO6400, the shutter speed was a mere 1/80 second due to the slow lens. Image was converted to sepia in post processing to lend an impression of life in the 1940s.
