One of the unique things about the Leica M system is its ability to use lenses created over the past 75 years. I recently purchased a Leica 50mm summilux version 1, built-in 1959. Even after 50 years, this lens has phenomenal image quality and unique characteristics.

A few weeks ago we headed back home to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. Her husband successfully surprised her with a gathering of friends and family. Here is a shot taken from that evening.

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”.

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.

She can even carry it with style…

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.
