About your photography. It doesn’t have to be so deep. Too many rules. Just take photos of things you’re interested in. The validation falls empty. Take photos of things you’re not supposed to. You don’t have to share them if you’re unsure of the consequences in today’s cancel culture.

Size and Weight Matters
Which is why I’ll probably buy an M11P whenever that comes out. My current setup is the M10P and 28mm Elmarit-M. It comes out at about 833 grams. It’s a tiny setup, not much larger than an x100v.

I’m still trying to figure out a faster workflow but it’s not too time consuming. I’ll be updating this site regularly with my mostContinue reading “Photo Update”
On Complaining
I try not to complain often. Especially about things I can control, which is basically everything in my life. So what’s the point of complaining? More action, less talk. Except for the weather, I’ll never stop complaining about bad weather.

You’re not complete until…
you are wearing a Leica around your neck dressed in full Lululemon. The Gucci of Santa Monica. You can easily store extra batteries and film in your zippered pockets. No more need for skinny skins, fake vintage concert tees from Urban Outfitters, trendy hats and old patina leather bags you found at your favorite vintageContinue reading “You’re not complete until…”
