Somewhere in the outskirts of Kowloon (HongKong) I came across a field where locals were playing soccer. One guy, although it was bloody hot, was running along the field. I like how the wire adds a bit of mystique to the scene. Leica M9 with 50 summicron

Wednesday Wedding pic: the dance
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 […]
The Leica Summicron-M 90 pre-ASPH review

Tuesday Travel: the kiss
Couple in love. Gent, Belgium. Leica M9-P with 24/3.8 Elmar. Insane sharp lens, see the crop.
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 […]
Q&A: why the M8 again?
As you’ve noticed, you can’t leave replies on this website. And for a reason, because I have no time for moderation. Besides, there are plenty other websites where you can engage in lively discussions. However, I do get quite a lot of emails with all kinds of questions. From now on, I’ll answer these questions […]
The Leica 50 Summilux V2 review
The 50 Summilux was first introduced by Leica in 1959 and back then, this lens was basically a redesigned version of the previous 50 Summarit. Only two years later, it was replaced with the second version, but after that, it’s formula wasn’t redesigned until 2004. This one must have been built in ’65. Like many […]
