I don’t remember one time when I looked at a photo and thought about the sharpness or pop. I think nice lighting, texture, composition and moment makes a nice photo. All of which can be achieved with any lens.

Micro Four Thirds Converted
I think it’s the best system for the minimalist photographer. Small and light cameras. Less gear to do the same and more as their larger sensor counterparts.
My Camera Gear
I’ve finally rid myself of all the unnecessary camera gear I’ve accumulated over the last four years. This morning I mailed the rest of the gear to MPB in exchange for a lens. I now own only two camera bodies and one lens (with one on the way from MPB). My gear is now soContinue reading “My Camera Gear”
Why I’m Selling My GRiiix Urban Edition
Yesterday I did some major spring cleaning. I went through my closet and bagged up about 30 pounds of clothing and hauled it to the donation box. Afterwards I went for my daily photo walk with my GRiii and was thinking about the GRiiix which I love. After my closet clean, I was thinking aboutContinue reading “Why I’m Selling My GRiiix Urban Edition”
My GRIV Wishlist
60 megapixel sensor so I can have 75 and 90mm crop modes. More durable. Weather sealing. A monochrome version. That’s it, I don’t care about anything else. The top two would be a big improvement. Second pair would be nice but no big deal if it didn’t happen.
Leica Q3 Versus GRIII Comparison
Quick comparison and further evidence that the GR is the best. Size/Weight: GR by a mile IQ/Sensor: Q3 but negligibly better. I prefer smaller sensors for street photography as I prefer shooting with a large depth of field. Lens: Q3 by a mile. The lux is marvelous but also much bigger than the GR. Ergonomics:Continue reading “Leica Q3 Versus GRIII Comparison”
The Leica Q3
I played around with the Q3 for a bit. It’s nice but there 0% chance I’d ever replace my GR with it. The ONLY thing that is clearly better for my style of photography is the 60mp sensor. I could shoot from 28mm to 90mm with crop mode which is cool. But even then theyContinue reading “The Leica Q3”
Who Cares About Dynamic Range
I went to the Leica store a few days ago. One of the guys showed me a photo that was severely underexposed by around four stops. Then showed me how it was usable by lifting the shadows. Who cares. I’ve probably messed up exposure that bad 10 times in my life. Just shoot P modeContinue reading “Who Cares About Dynamic Range”
Leica Shooters Are Online Buskers
Specifically the YouTube Leica shooters who all say the same thing to please their god (the algorithm). It’s about THE EXPERIENCE! Just a ploy to get more people to watch their regurgitated video. I’ve owned nearly every Leica camera so I can speak from experience that THE EXPERIENCE matters significantly less when the photos suck.Continue reading “Leica Shooters Are Online Buskers”
Experience Vs Output
Who cares about the experience if the end result sucks. The only experience I care about is a good photo, not the way a camera makes me feel.
