Recently, we celebrated my nephew’s 4th birthday. As you can see from the pictures, he was just a little excited.

The one thing I really enjoy about my Leica M9 is the ability to shoot without a flash in low light. Â This is only possible because I can shoot at very low apertures (i.e. f/1.4 or f/2.0). Â The only down side with the Leica M9 is its poor high ISO if shooting in color.
This picture of my nephew was taken only with light from a few lanterns and street lights.
We were in Madison Wisconsin this weekend to meet my great-niece and celebrate my nephews high school graduation. Â My nephew lived with me and my parents off and on when he was little and I’ve always considered him a brother. Â He’s had to travel a lot throughout the past 5 years but was fortunate to settle down and spend his last few years in Madison. Â He made many friends and has really matured during this time. Â We are all very proud of him.
I’ve been busy traveling the past few days and will continue to be busy throughout the remaining month. Â Hopefully, I can at least post a new pic every other day.
Last week, I decided to sell my NEX-7 and move to the new Olympus OM-D. Â Both are great cameras but the NEX-7 just doesn’t have the amount of lenses on the market. Â Also, I really like the functionality of the OM-D.
Here is one of my first pictures taken with the Olympus OM-D with Panasonic’s 7-14mm lens. Â When shooting landscape with this lens there is very little distortion but when you have a subject within inches of the lens you can see that it gives it a unique perspective.
Here it is, the 1 year shot! Â I’ve already posted it on Steve Huff’s website (thanks Steve), you can see it here. Â I’ve had a great time taking these pictures and look forward to shooting more. Â I plan on taking one every 6 months now and hopefully I can continue for a very long time.
