The Leica M2 is a very special camera to me because when we started our journey of starting a family, I made the conscious decision to use solely the Leica M2 to document the whole way. Now it has become a very special family heirloom that I hope will be passed down after me. Don't… Continue reading The Leica M2 – My Family Heirloom

A Beautiful Evening on Film
I often share here photos I have taken on a day that a cold front is passing through. Cold weather just puts me in a good mood and in turn helps me to create. Every year I look forward to the last days and first days of the year when we will get a break… Continue reading A Beautiful Evening on Film

A Day on Color Film: Part 2
Earlier last year I shot a whole day on film. If you've been following along, you know I already shared the black and white film I shot that day, which was Street Candy's ATM400 and MTN100.
