I was at a blessed place. My gear was stolen, so I could start afresh. Oh, the bliss of being in a position to toy with endless possibilities, owning each and all of them in my mind. It is so cosmically great that I recommend each of us get his/her gear stolen on a regular […]

We drove up from Maine to Canada for a week’s vacation, which overlapped the July 4th holiday here in the States. The drive up was very pleasant with a half-way stop in Saint John, New Brunswick. We were based in Charlottetown, PEI, for the week and visited the dramatic north coast for our first excursion. […]

So, that’s it. I broke DS … and this is how it feels. This may just be a hobby website, it’s still been a big part of my life over the past few years and, up to recently, plain … sailing. Also, the update process is not what I’d prefer. If this was […]

People who have withstood the test of obligation-free, long distance relationships. Over a period of three days […]

It wasn’t that long ago that the painterly effect of Mandler-era Leica lenses would have made me swoon. This was to my photographic world what the Jaguar e-Type is to my automotive world. Poetic, beautiful, romantic, comforting. And as far as imaginable from the austere look of acclaimed contemporary artists such as Andreas Gursky, Alec […]

Blame Tony Northrup for the dire thought. His (great) recent video analysing the downfall of so many camera / lens manufacturers leaves very little to the imagination. Going down, going down, now. What happened to the digital dream? It came true. You’re looking at it. Digital opened up avenues for exploration. And […]

Welcome to the results of this month’s “Loved Ones” challenge. The idea was to send in photographs of things, objects, ideas, places … we love and fear might one day disappear out of our lives. Or about loss and disappearance themselves. Not only that, but photographs made in such a way that the love would […]

The 2nd May 2019 marked the 500th anniversary of the death of one of the most multi talented people who has ever lived. He died at Château du Clos Lucé, Amboise, in France, and was often referred to as a Universal Genius. Yes, that’s a very bold statement, but consider this, he dabbled in, drawing, […]
