self portrait M6
Photography has a way of engulfing a person to the point where one can be actually hypnotized and or disabled by the process itself! A camera can make you feel so good and yet "lack of experience" can reveal to the photographer that one has a long path to still explore! A Leica M6 has proven to me that photography is fun, and I have a long way to go! As I shoot a bit more with this camera, I feel like I am moving back in time! A camera like the M6 and any other camera that just takes you back to the basics, makes you a fuller person! I've heard things like a large format camera makes you think and compose and therefore a better photographer... Want to know something? It is true! A manual camera, no matter what format, allows you to be a more creative photographer! Megapixels, megapixels... Will a Cannon or Nikon Digital camera ever become a classic or a collectible?

self portrait made of leaves
I've just started using my Mamiya 645 AF, and I realize I actually like it. It is a bulky camera created more for studio photography than for hand holding, but since I have a difficult time focusing manual cameras because of my bad eyesight, auto focus is rather exciting! Across 100 developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 10mins.
