Over the years I have been privileged to work on and with some extraordinary people. I have had the opportunity to create this photo book of portraits after each person completed their journey. "Smiling is in the eyes!" is my first photobook and hopefully the first of many. Click on link below!
Smiling is in the eyes!
I have always had an interest in photography. Me purchasing a Panasonic GF1 and Voigtlander 15mm/f4.5 was me venturing into the field of street photography. Where this will take me??? Things have evolved and I am now the proud owner of a Leica M9. What a delightful camera!! Currently using it with the Voigtlander 35mm/f1.4, 15mm/f4.5 and 75mm/f2.5
In my bag!

Experimental weekend - Leica M9, Voigtlander 75mm, f2.5, Leica SF20 flash, Fotodiox adaptor with older Nikkor 70-300mm, f3.5-5.6, 50mm, f1.8, 28mm, f2.8
Played around with different options over the weekend. Firstly with The Leica SF20 flash. Due to the high speed lenses I use on my M9 body, I do not regularly use a flash. But after seeing some interesting shots from some well known Leica users, I decided to experiment a bit. Then Fathers day turned up and I got a Fotodiox Nikon to Leica M adaptor, which opened a whole new window regarding the use of some of my old Nikon lenses. The learning curve is steep as you cannot use the rangefinder focus system. Here we go!
