I have always been one to say that you can most certainly shoot a wedding with a Leica M9. Yesterday this site was low on the updates due to me being out shooting a wedding and yes, I shot it with my M9! I also brought along the 35 Lux and the 50 Summicron. In [Read More...]

When the big bad ass Leica S2 arrived for me to test I knew that I had to take a road trip to go in search of some cool new shots. It’s a fact, shooting the same old things over and over can get old really quick and KILL your creativity. I also know that [Read More...]

Ok, all of you Leica gurus…this one is actually pretty easy but take a guess what lens I have on the M9. A reader sent it to me to review and it’s a classic. This was the 1st image I tested it with after I attached it to the M9, and as usual I shot [Read More...]

I have been having some fun with Aperture 3 today and am really digging how easy and fun it is to make a slideshow. There are a few different themes you can choose from while making a slideshow.

Classic – This displays your images on the screen with no effects. Just one image after the other.

I Take Pictures. Every Day. By Amy Medina
I have always been fascinated with taking photos of everyday things, and now I take photos of them every day.
I was always a sporadic shooter. You might know the feeling: Going months without taking a single photo and then suddenly some blog (like Steve’s), or book (remember those?), [Read More...]

We had some big snow come through here tonight so me and my son went outside to get some fun snaps. I had the E-P2 with the 20 1.7 set up with the grainy B&W Art filter  and the M9 with the 50 cron set to ISO 2500 and F2. I was curious to see [Read More...]

Was out today and whadda ya know!  It started snowing really bad! Since I had my M9 in hand I told my wife I wanted to get some shots of her (to later convert to B&W) with snow falling all around her. Well, just as I was about to press the shutter button the snow [Read More...]

Ok, I am trying out an experiment and it may succeed and it may flop! Today I have just launched the “Leica M9 Worldwide Image Database” where YOU can upload your M9 photos direct from this site. What I am trying to do here is create a page that will feature a “database” of M9 [Read More...]

Lucky guy!
Vlad Dusil over at purseblog.com just posted his very cool “unboxing” of the Leica M7 Hermes Edition in Orange! Many will say that this camera is just for show or gaudy in the orange color but man, I am digging that color combo! The orange leather and silver 35 Lux…sweet! Click Here to check [Read More...]

This past weekend while on my way to visit the old factories of St. Louis, MO I stopped in the very small town of Centralia, IL to visit Elmwood Cemetery. Why would I do this you ask? Well, I wanted to stop in so I could visit and photograph the grave of “Violin Annie”. The [Read More...]

I’m back home after a long day of driving, walking and running for my life. Yep, I was nearly robbed today of my Leica M9 and lenses! What a way to spend a day I was out in St. Louis, MO today just driving around and looking for abandoned buildings to photograph. Not [Read More...]

Four months with the Leica M9 – I remember it well. September 9th, 2009. That was the date that Leica announced the M9 and instead of being in the middle of it all in NYC, I was out in the Caribbean on a cruise ship. I can’t complain though. I was having fun sipping rum [Read More...]

The photo contest “14 days to save the world” that was started by Thorsten Overgaard a few weeks back is now in full swing. The submissions have been presented in a gallery at his website and the judging is underway! I am one of the judges so I am sitting here tonight going through all [Read More...]

What do the Canon 7D, Nikon D300s and Olympus E-P2 have in common? They are all sitting in front of me begging for a crazy comparison! I was bored last night and stuck in the house. Pretty sad for a Saturday night huh? While everyone else in the world was out having a great time [Read More...]

Once again I went out with this little Olympus E-P2 set to the Grainy B&W Art Filter. As I was driving through this town I just snapped things that caught my eye and put the ones I liked into a “filmstrip”. This filter on the Olympus is about as close as I have seen to [Read More...]
