As you know I shoot most of my wedding work with a 35 and 50. These lenses just work for me and I am used to the way they render a scene. A few years ago I added the tiny 28 Elmarit for two reasons. First, I wanted a slightly wider lens for group portraits. […]

What’s up on the gear news?
Well, lots of reviews to be published, but I’m also in the middle of my wedding season. Being a photographer is still my job, so you’ll have to be patient I’m afraid… What to expect in 2015? At least these lenses will be reviewed: Leica 28/2.8 Elmarit (Just buy it already, it is that good!) […]
Wednesday wedding pic: make-up and champagne
This is an old one. Maybe four years ago, but I still like this scene. The bride having a glass of champagne while getting ready for the ceremony. And you know what? I took this one with my good old M8. Now you can see why some people call the M8 the ‘poor man’s Monochrom’. […]
Tuesday travel: the boat
Cambodia is a fascinating country foe traveling. Although there are some parts you’d better not go to, there are lots of interesting places to visit besides the well know Angkor area. Here we took a boat trip to a fisherman’s village, on a lake that only exists in the rain season. When one of the […]
Wednesday Wedding pic: The beach
Now this is a shot that says something about the way I work. Imagine a very, very hot day. The beaches are crowded and everybody is sunbathing, half naked. And this is the day you’re getting married. Yes, in a suit, made out of wool. The traditional wedding photographer would have shot this scene facing […]
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 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 […]
