Good Things Come In Pairs

As long as I’ve been walking around this cliff side park, I don’t ever think I’ve seen two people sitting on each bench. As luck would have it, another pair of people walked into the frame and into the light. Blessing their face with a splash of light. I had to lay flat on myContinue reading “Good Things Come In Pairs”

15 Frames From Cinco de Mayo

I attended the Cinco de Mayo parade and festival in Venice Beach today. My first time since living in Los Angeles. It was better than expected and I’m happy with the photos. It was a nice sunny day but the sun was harsh. I processed these photos to give them an Ilford HP5 Plus lookContinue reading “15 Frames From Cinco de Mayo”

A Great Dilemma

I take my best photos with the Q2 Monochrom. I have the most fun with my Leica M8. I take different photos with the Ricoh GR III. Quite a nice dilemma to have.

My Ilford HP5 Plus Look

I love the look of film. My dream is to make my digital images look like film. For color photos, this seems like a lost battle. But for black and white, I think using my Leica M8 looks close. What do you think?

I Use Three Cameras

The Ricoh GRIII (Smallest) Leica M8 (Most fun) Leica Q2 Monochrom (Best)

Leica Q3 with a 28mm 2.8 Lens and Rangefinder With No Screen

This would the best camera ever made. I rarely use the lens wide open. In macro mode, the Q2M reverts to 2.8 anyways. High ISO is so good, we don’t need a fast lens. Smaller size is better than speed. I rarely use auto focus. Manual focus is so good on the Q2M. I’d ratherContinue reading “Leica Q3 with a 28mm 2.8 Lens and Rangefinder With No Screen”

Leica Q2 Monochrom Is GOAT

Yes, it’s worth the money. I’ve used a lot of different cameras. It’s unique and easy/fun to use. It does so much. And you become more creative because it’s a mono camera. It’s durable. No moving lens like the fragile Ricoh GR. Relatively small with a full frame 1.7 lens. There’s nothing else like it.Continue reading “Leica Q2 Monochrom Is GOAT”

Leica Rangefinders Are The Most Fun

No they aren’t the most practical, or take the best images, or the smallest or lightest or blah blah blah. But they are the most fun and that’s what counts, right? Unless you’re doing photography for money. If it’s just a hobby, then why not choose the instrument that you have the most fun with.Continue reading “Leica Rangefinders Are The Most Fun”
