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.

It’s been a crazy past few weeks. Traveling from Indiana to Iowa and then to Wisconsin and then back to Indiana in 4 days started the craziness. Work has been incredibly busy and to finish everything off, I’m sitting in a hotel room in Chicago taking my surgical boards. Starting next week, I’ll be able to relax (at least I hope I can).
I’m not much of an abstract shooter but for some reason I really like geometric shapes. This shot was actually taken of an old bathroom floor in a restaurant/bar I was at in Wisconsin.
P.S. After 6 months of patiently waiting, I had a Leica 35mm summilux delivered a few days ago and look forward to posting some pics in the next few weeks.

Here it is, the 1 year shot! I’ve already posted it on Steve Huff’s website (thanks Steve), you can see it here. I’ve had a great time taking these pictures and look forward to shooting more. I plan on taking one every 6 months now and hopefully I can continue for a very long time.

I’ve been busy the past few days and have not had the opportunity to update my blog. Hopefully, I’ll have more time this weekend.
There’s nothing special about this image and I’ve on a few occasions almost deleted it. For some reason though, I seem to be drawn to it, always looking for something interesting. I suppose all the lines, circles, and symmetry must have something to do with it?

I probably should post more pics of our dog. She’s a 12 year old border collie that has traveled from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and back to Indiana. She is the most docile dog you would ever meet. I only wish she was younger so that she would have many more years with our baby girl. The title to this post is “dog…” because that is all we listen to all day from our baby girls mouth.

Re-post from November 2011
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and black Friday. We decided to do our shopping online. No crowds, no stress, same prices.
As I was walking around the Lincoln Memorial with a friend I was trying to find someone interesting to take a picture of. Eventually, I found this couple enjoying a cup of coffee while resting on the steps of the memorial. They seemed unaware of everything around them besides each other.
Here is another picture I found in my archives. This was taken at the Auburn Cord Duesenburg Automobile Museum. If you are ever in Northeast Indiana and enjoy old cars you can easily spend hours in this place.
Previous shots posted from the museum can be found here and here.
