Blue Eyes

The last few weeks I’ve put my Leica aside and spent most of the time shooting with my Nikon D800E.  It has taken time getting accustomed to it because I’ve gotten so used to using a manual focus camera.  The Nikon D800E is a very large camera in comparison to my Leica and even though I like the picture quality, my Leica will still be at my side the majority of the time.  I love the challenge shooting with a manual focus camera.  Also, I find it at times more difficult to shoot in autofocus because it doesn’t necessarily focus on what I want it to.

 Here’s a recent picture of my beautiful baby girl.  We were heading out for a wagon ride and the light coming into the garage really accentuated her beautiful blue eyes.  She definitely got them from mommy.

A Face in a Crowd

We were walking down Michigan Avenue and I decided to walk behind to catch a few candid pics of my baby girl.  I think she was a little sleep deprived and was acting a little crazy.  She kept waiving at me but everyone around me didn’t realize I was her father, thus they thought she was waiving at them.

May the force be with you

All I can say is that the past few weeks have been crazy.  Between work and boards I have not had much time to work on my blog.  I’m hoping soon, that will change.

I recently bought a Leica 35mm summilux.  This is probably the hottest going lens right now for Leica M-mount cameras.  All I can say is WOW!  I just uploaded a few pics today and I’m extremely impressed.

I took this one of my beautiful daughter and thought I would pay homage to my favorite trilogy.
