Me with a Leica Q. Photo by Giles.
I have been a photography aficionado since high school, when I owned an Olympus SRL and a couple of lenses. While film was never my thing, when digital came along, I rediscovered a renewed passion for photography. My first DSLR was a Canon Rebel, followed by a Canon 30D, a Canon 5D, and a Canon 6D. I got tired of carrying the weight of a full-sized DSLR and lenses, so I switched to mirrorless, starting with a Sony A7R and a Sony A6000. I started messing around with manual focus and vintage lenses and discovered Leica. After selling all of my gear, I bought a Leica M Typ 2262 and two Summicrons: a 50mm and a 35mm. I have not looked back.
Most of my photography may be seen in my Journal entries. Here are the major categories:
