The NEW Leica M6 Classic. Man, I did not see this coming. But I’m so glad Leica did this. Probably not for the reasons you might be thinking. I also talk about what it’s like to take in content from highly opinionated content creators (such as myself).

Enjoy.

Youxin Ye is fantastic at servicing mechanical Leica film bodies. Fast and reliable. If you’re in the U.S. I really can’t recommend this guy enough.

Are the “Masters of Photography,” refering to the photographers of the 20th Century that are still celebrated today…. with all the changes in photography, is their work still relevant. Is it still important to “Study the Masters”? I think you probably already know how I feel about it. Food for thought. Enjoy.

Story telling. It’s one of my favorite aspects of the humans. People love to hear stories. Some people are great at telling stories. In this episode I share my thoughts on how story telling integrates with photography.

For any of you who have known me for any amount of time, you’re very likely familiar with my obsession with black and white photography. If you ever wondered why it’s so one sided for me, I’ll let you know why 99 times out of 100, I’ll choose black and white over color.

Enjoy.

We’ve all seen work from photographers who can shoot the seemingly ordinary scenes or subjects. But while it is something so ordinary, there is something there; something that does make the photo work. There is something about the shot that gives the photo an extraordinary feel. How does that happen. I’ll talk about this today. Enjoy.

Do you know, or are you, yourself, a photographer who doesn’t really want to study other photographer’s work? Some feel it could influence them too much? I’ve heard that kind of thing from time to time.

Also, since we’ve been talking about selling your prints or books lately, I’ve got a little bit more to say on that subject. I know,  shocker, huh.

I’ll share my 2 cents on these topics. Enjoy.

I’ve been getting out with my camera a bit more these days. Just wanted to share a recent experience that inspired a new project.

Also have a couple items about Leica gear. Helpful stuff if it applies to you.

Enjoy.

All photos shot with my Leica M262 and Summicron 50mm. All of them came from the Leica JPEG files, most sooc.
