270 Original

A 1934 Leica III, with its 1935 Leitz Summar 5cm, on a 1933 desk. Incidentally, the camera owned by the main character of my novel ("I fantasmi dell'Impero", to be published in January, 2017 - but already available as pre-order on Amazon for Kindle)

Great looking camera and fab reflection!

I dont suppose there is an English translation yet!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@alophoto thank you!
@kali66 not yet... hopefully in the next few years...

[kali]

@domenicododaro at least you can do an accurate one yourself!

[kali]

is it your first foray into print?

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kali66 I couldn't. My English is definitely insufficient! And yes, it is my first publication... I'm thrilled as a kid!

[Helen Jane]

Excellent. And congratulations that is some achievement. Google translate leaves me non the wiser - except that it is a historical war novel? I wish you success with the novel - oh, and fun with the camera.

[Margo Sayer]

Feeling very smug...as a photo gnome I recognised the camera as a Leica before reading the text. Yet absolutely compared to your sense of achievement in having your (first?) book published! Warmest congratulations, may be it a great success.

[Lin Joyce]

Love the old camera. Nice reflection. And congratulations on your book!

[Yao RL]

is the ghost owns the camera?

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yaorenliu LOL It's a lieutenant of the Italian army, in Ethiopia in 1937-38

[Domenico Dodaro]

@helenhall @s4sayer @linjoyce thank you kindly! Yes it is my first publication ever, a novel with a strong (and very careful) historical background. As a newcomer in the literature world, I'm so proud to be published by one of the most prominent Italian publishers!!! 😊

Fabulous details and reflection

[Domenico Dodaro]

@annied Thank you very much!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

You are a man of many talents! Wish I could read your novel.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@overalvandaan Thanks, we hope the publisher will invest in the translation! If it will happen, you'll be informed!

[Claes]

Congrats my friend, getting published is something else - its great news.
And nice pic also .-)

[Domenico Dodaro]

@runner365 thank you Claes, I look forward to seeing the book in shops, though browsing Amazon and finding it was a big thrill!

[Claes]

@domenicododaro Understandable - and it looks good (yes, checked it out myself) :-)
