WARREN CONNECTICUT – Ive ben experimenting on and off with how I can best use older Leica lenses. Here’s a heavily backlit image with my Mandler designed 1982 75mm Summilux lens, shooting at f/1.4.

Day 6,104 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Looking back ten years to our regretably departed friend Steve who was having a serious moment.  Day 2,452 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – We went to the opening evening of the Shag Festival here. I put an old lens on my Monochrom: a 1982 Walter Mandler designed 75mm f/1.4 Summilux, designed as a portrait lense with long gray ramps, lovely out of focus rendering and very thin depth of field. Guess what? Mount this lens and you take . . . portraits.  There’s nothing quite like it.

Looking back to Puglia exactly two years ago. Day 5,370 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
