It's a beautiful day to hang out on the deck.

At lunch with Jeff. 

I'm experimenting with "ruining" digital photos by making them less perfect. This was just an HP5 preset 1-click. 

Self-portrait with Alice. Hard to pull off with a manual focus rangefinder and 50mm lens. (Leica MP, 50mm Summilux, HP5)

Isn't it amazing? 1960 Leica M3 (film) and 2021 Leica M10-R (digital). More than 60 years apart and the design remains essentially unchanged. They got it right the first time.

Alice, 2022. 

Shot a roll of the new Neopan Acros in the Nikon F100 yesterday. Something doesn’t seem right, but I can’t put my finger on it (other than the scratches and dust). Still, she's cute.

Brandon and Sage, Fruitport, MI, 2020

Probably my favorite "pandemic" photo.

Jessica, Florida, 2004. 

Still one of my favorite photos.

I had just gotten my first Leica (M6TTL) so she was using the Canonet. Shot on XP2 I think.

I never miss an opportunity to include the dog butler in a photo.

A wall in my dad's garage is like a Dali painting within a Dali painting.



My Focomat IIc. Slowly but surely whipping this 70-year-old beast into shape. Today, I adjusted the autofocus.

Shot with the Leica M3 on Kodak TMAX P3200 for extra juicy grain.

A quick portrait of my mom that's really a portrait of her "butler"

Hair and makeup never showed. Apparently. 

How I feel about writing lately. I do love the SM3, though. 

I love film. 

Leica MP. 50mm Summilux-M. HP5. 

When my daughter lived at home, I always had a willing subject nearby. This was taken shortly after I got my first Hasselblad in 2010. 

Too many photos on Glass are too pretty so I'm here to take it down a notch. 

Oops. I need more practice with the Grafmatic film holder. I let some light in here. 

When this happens with digital it gets deleted but when it's film, and more importantly, a Leica, it's friggin' art, right? 😜

Sometimes it's fun to put the GR in high-contrast black and white JPG mode and snap away.

Me pretending to use the Crown Graphic.

I have a growing collection of pictures in which Alice is yawning
