Sometimes my work is truly magical. Being allowed to work for a couple on their big day and getting close, even during an intimate dance like this, is immensely rewarding. Although you have to focus in a split second and situations like these push your Leica to its limits, it does make sense to use […]

Tuesday Travel: the tent
The Abel Tasman Track is one of the most famous hiking tracks in the world. Although I much prefer Norway to New Zealand when it comes to hiking, the Tasman sure is a special hike. We camped at Annapai Beach for a night and while my wife used her head torch to ‘paint’ the tent […]
Tuesday Travel: Jesus and the sun
Some time ago I was in Buenos Aires and one of the places you have to see is the Recoleta cemetery. It’s too bad that a lot of graves are falling apart, due to economical misery, but it’s till a marvelous place to visit. I noticed this statue of Jesus and it was like he […]
Tuesday Travel: The nose job
I was walking around in Bangkok when I noticed this lady, who was selling tickets for a tourist attraction, giving herself a nose job. She didn’t seem to care that everybody could see her ‘working’ her nose, so I figured she would’t mind being featured in ‘Tuesday Travel’ as well… Leica M9 with 35 Cron […]
Tuesday Travel: the kiss
Couple in love. Gent, Belgium. Leica M9-P with 24/3.8 Elmar. Insane sharp lens, see the crop.
I wish you all a very lazy sunday
Nothing beats a light, compact and relatively inexpensive camera. With the Leica M8 I don’t even look at the weather forecast before I go outside. And I don’t bring a big either. If it starts raining, I’ll just stuff it in the pocket of my coat. I wouldn’t do that with my M9 or M240, […]
Leica Noctilux on first wedding of the year
The season has started early. Usually I shoot my fist wedding in April, or the last days of March. This time it was early February. After having spent enough time with my Noctilux in the streets, it’s time to take it out to the wedding field. Without looking at the lens specs in Lightroom, my […]
Tuesday Travel: Umbrellas in a boat
It was a strange day. They say in Patagonia there can be four seasons in one day. Well, in Gent, Belgium, that seemed to be the case as well. As we took shelter for the rain, I suddenly saw this boat full of umbrellas going down the canal. And when I walked towards it, the […]
Tuesday Travel: Imagine
John Lennon Wall in Prague. A terrific place with music, fans and tourists. Bring a camera when you go there. For instance a Leica M9 with a 50 cron (though the exif tells you it’s a 21mm) Want to know more about how to use your rangefinder camera on your travels? Check out my Leica workshops or […]
Leica Workshop and the quest for a camera
I’m not sure if I have to be proud of it, but so far most of my workshop clients that didn’t have an M when attending my workshop, bought one shortly after the workshop. I guess I infected my clients with a virus that will make their lives considerably more expensive. Luckily, buying a digital […]
