Leica X1 a new journey

Posted on September 25, 2016

Followers of this space know I’ve been on an extended hiatus for quite a while – a year plus but I’ve been pondering the megapixel marathon all that time playing with my Lightroom library (40K) and processing a few hundred images from the multitude of cameras (31 total) I’ve owned over the last 7 years. My personal conclusion, megapixels are just not that important to create the imagery I want and what’s more important are the haptics and ergonomics of the actual camera body and control themselves that really give me the edge.

RICOH GRD3: Going Back to my roots

Posted on August 13, 2016

Week 1 | 2016

Posted on January 23, 2016

What better way to begin than just to start shooting. Well after skipping all 2015, I felt I was due for a Weekly PAD project. My last project in this type was back in 2012 and I wholeheartedly enjoyed it. My friend Wouter Brandsma is always inspiration as well.
