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 […]

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: The happy waiters

However, I do need other lenses too. My clients expect me to deliver a package of photos that […]
Night street photography workshop
When the sun sets and the countryside turns completely dark, cities become interesting places with contrasting lights. In winter, we spend most of our ‘street time’ in the dark. So why wouldn’t we shoot in the dark? Yes, light is more challenging and completely different compared to regular daylight, but the dark opens up new […]

They tell me it’s useless to go outside and take pictures. For me, working with concentrated light from windows, it makes me […]
Welcome to the family
It wasn’t an easy decision. Although my business is doing very good, I’ve never spent this amount of money on a single lens. In fact, the Noctilux always made my summicrons look affordable and I often laughed at the price of the nocti. Yet, I also loved the very specific rendering of this lens and […]
Leica Masterclass in the Hague

We started with the basic principles of focussing a rangefinder camera and I showed a few simple rules and tricks to make this easier, faster and more accurate. We headed into the city to shoot in the streets. My […]
