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 […]
Tuesday Travel: Cry baby cry
You know that Beatles song? It’s on the White Album. My favorite album, because it is so beautifully balanced. Anyway, that’s what I thought when I saw this picture again. Shot somewhere close to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Leica M9 with 35 Summicron (although the exif says something else…) You’ve got to love the rendering of […]
The Leica 75 Summicron review
After having shot a couple of years with the Leica 75 2.5 Summarit I came across a mint 75 Summicron for a good price. I always wanted the 75 Cron, but never bought it, because I was more or less satisfied with my Summarit. I didn’t think too long and traded the ‘old’ 75 for […]
Tuesday Travel: into the light
After having spent an entire day in the depressing former Ghetto of Theresienstadt, we were happy to walk into the light again. It’s impossible to imagine what happened here, but the pictures don’t lie. Leica M9 with 28 Elmarit.
Tuesday Travel: The happy waiters
They say you find the best waiters in France, but the Cuban waiters aren’t the worst either. Of course they expect you to tip properly, but that’s the least thing you can do for the kind people on this interesting island. Leica M9 with 50 summicron Want to know more about how to use your […]
The Leica 50 summicron review
If I were to take one lens only to a random place, it would probably be this lens. The Leica 50 Summicron is all you could ever want as a documentary, portrait, wedding and street photographer. I could end my review with that, but I think you might like to know why I love the […]
Tuesday Travel: find the shop owner
A very typical shop in the Kowloon area of HongKong. Loaded with stuff that doesn’t seem to have any relation with neither the shop, nor the other things in the shop. Shot with Leica M9 and 35 summicron. Want to know more about how to use your rangefinder camera on your travels? Check out my […]
New funky Billingham colour
My friends from Degreeff & Partner informed me that the Billingham Hadley Digital, Hadley Small and Hadley Pro will be available in selected stores in the colour Neon Red. Maybe not your cup of tea if you’re a street shooter, but for the hipsters that don’t like khaki, this might be good news. As you […]
The power of perspective
The 50mm is my favorite focal length. It resembles the way we see the world and it gives me the opportunity to isolate subjects from the background, yet without the disturbing effects of a long telephoto lens. However, I do need other lenses too. My clients expect me to deliver a package of photos that […]
