This past weekend we drove back home for a birthday party. I decided to get up one morning and take a few pictures of the George Rogers Clark Memorial. I’m always trying to imagine places to take landscape pictures back home but unfortunately, the majority of what is around is flat farm land. This is one of the few unique structures in and around where I’m from.
ISO 200 1/25 sec f5.6 50mm (Leica M typ 240, Leica 50mm summicron APO, LR4, Photoshop, Nik Software suite)
It’s a simple interest but if you carefully look, there is a log of symmetry. Often times this symmetry isn’t noticed until after the image was taken but in this instance I knew I had something immediately prior to composing the shot.

The picture explains it…
ISO3200 1/750 sec f1.4 35mm (Leica M Monochrom, Leica 35mm summilux FLE, LR4)
Taken a few weeks ago at a Journey concert.

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.

Unsure if it’s the yellow brick or how the light was shining down but for some reason I was drawn to this.

If you get the opportunity to visit New Orleans, you have to run into St. Louis Cathedral. Absolutely beautiful artwork. Here’s a shot of a mural on the ceiling.

I’m amazed how often people click on my blog because they are searching for information on Chicago’s “The Bean” (its real name is Cloud Gate). I’ve posted this image before in color but honestly have never been happy with the look of the sky. Here’s the picture in black and white. I think I’m finally happy with the sky and background.
