Last year I sold my Leica 50mm summilux to purchase the 35mm summilux FLE. Since that time, I’ve really missed having a more compact 50mm lens (I have the huge noctilux). When the Leica 50mm summicron APO was announced I pre-ordered it (Dale Photo). Today, it finally came in the mail and even though I’ve only take a few shots, I’m extremely impressed. I don’t think I’ve ever had or seen a lens that is as sharp as it. Here is one of my first shots.

Recently, I’ve been excited to post pics taken with my Leica M 240. I still have my Leica M Monochrom and love how it renders black and white pictures. We were in New Orleans and one evening a friend and I took a walk down Bourbon street. I was amazed how crazy it was even on a Tuesday night. It’s definitely, a great town to take pictures.

I pass these trees everyday on my way to work. I’ve many times tried to imagine a good shot of them. This past weekend there was just a faint amount of fog and I stopped my truck and took a few shots. Initially, I didn’t think I would like the shot with the guard rail but I think it gives the image a more 3D appearance and adds to the symmetry provided by the tree’s.
P.S. As you can easily notice, there is nothing “alive” wear I live right now. Hopefully soon, we’ll start seeing some life.
