Mom

Last year I walked around Waikiki working on a personal project and I encountered a very attractive young woman swimming on the beach with her two kids. I asked her if I could snap a photo of her and her kids. I cropped it oddly as I found power in the image from a different point of view.

Leica

I been away from the blog recently but I promise to return with new images and stuff.

I recently purchased a Leica only to challenge myself visual with a tool that I am not very familiar with as rangefinders are typically not the easiest cameras to use.

However, a mystery surrounds the Leica and the user. It can be described as a culture. Sweaty jungles, civil wars, the streets of New York, dictators, whiskey, cigarettes, affairs, Paris, Africa, etc…romance, love, and death. It is something pretty amazing and unique to get caught up in but oddly, most of the owners are usually doctors and collectors who never take them out of their safes or worse, the Leica box or case.

Prices are extremely high for mint copies as they do have a myth.

Here is my first Leica photo.
