It’s amazing what you will see in New Orleans.  This is just one of them.

Weapons of Choice

Yes, I’m shooting this with the D800E which is a great camera but I still love the simplicity and the challenge of shooting with both of my Leica cameras.

Where is the fruit?

One of the unique things about the Leica M system is its ability to use lenses created over the past 75 years.  I recently purchased a Leica 50mm summilux version 1, built-in 1959.  Even after 50 years, this lens has phenomenal image quality and unique characteristics.

Crown Fountain part 2

This picture, taken of Crown Fountain at Millennium Park in Chicago was taken around 5:30 am.  My prior picture was taken just 2 hours later.  Look at the clouds and you can see the amazing transformation from a cloudy, potentially gloomy day to one filled with sunshine.

Tower within a Frame part 2

Part 1

Quick post today.  Here’s another picture of downtown Chicago through a frame.  I purposing focused on the statue to get a good depth of field.  The shot came out pretty good.

What’s in my bag – Retro Lamp

I’ve been asked a few times what I carry in my bag.  Here is a video showing what I typically carry.

I’m not sure why I was fascinated by this lamp (I posted a prior pic here).  Maybe I was just mesmerized by the color of the light and the contrast created between it and the background with my Leica 50mm noctilux.
