leica...


Anyone else out there completly intruiged with craftmenship...

Some people are drawn to fine automobiles, motorbikes, watches, diamonds...

for me it is the LEICA. "a tool. Handcrafted, created for the photographic artist. Not a quick photographic fling, but the camera of a lifetime."

"Classics are works that are immune to the passing whims of the present"

this is what keeps me from fully embracing the digital age. I feel as though it is a race to keep up with the newest and best, cameras always chaging, software always upgrading. I am a lover of timeless classics and I love to keep my equipment as simple and unabtrusive as possible as I work to capture the true essence of my subjects.

Check out this site if you are as intruiged as I am.

I will keep you posted with what I think, I am renting the MP with a 50mm noctilux-m f/1 for 7 days.
time to stock up on some film!

thank you...

The year is fully booked. A beautiful year filled with such wonderful children and families. The next month and a half is packed full of fun, great weather and new and "old" clients still to photograph. In December I will begin bookings for 2008, in the meantime please email me with your interest for a 2008 portrait session.
I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life...thank you!









edit to add...I didn't take the time to sharpen and "fancy up" these images for web...seeing the difference here but running out the door with my camera and knowing the actual prints are gorgeous. Its amazing what you can do to enhance a web image, my focus is on the print itself. Gotta run!
