Where am I heading next

October 19, 2012 Gage Caudell

I’ve been shooting the Leica M Monochrom for over a month now and absolutely love it. I read a lot of reviews on it and most think it is difficult to shoot with. Honestly, I’m unsure if it’s much different from the M9 other than post processing is a necessity and it has a high learning curve. I think in the past few weeks I’ve started grasping what needs to be done and have tried to make the pictures a little more “contrasty”. Here is an example.

Cheese…

October 13, 2012 Gage Caudell 3 Comments

Recently, our little girl has learned the word “cheese”. Anytime I get the camera out, that’s the first words from her mouth. I only wish she would sit still when she was saying it.

This picture captures one of those very first moments she started saying “cheese”.

Bedtime with the cousins

October 9, 2012 Gage Caudell

We went home this past weekend to visit with family and celebrate my sister-in-laws 30th birthday. One evening we stayed late at her house and our little girl climbed in to bed with her cousins. She has not learned that the bed is for resting, she is still very much interested in playing.

Her first purse – part 1

October 6, 2012 Gage Caudell 2 Comments

I’m pretty sure she is going to be a girly girl. She carries her mom’s old purse around all the time. Often times when small things are missing throughout the house, this is one of the best places to look.
