Friday’s flowers by crazy photographer…
As I contemplate flowers and cameras and lenses, to post a photograph for the “Friday flower,” I decide to play with the old Leitz 12.5 Photar on the Leica M. But it’s just not working out. Shutter speeds of 1/2 a second or more with wind blowing the subjects around; and it’s just too damn […]
Yesterday… cycling in the rain…
For the first time, in over 50 years, I left home without a Leica within arms reach. I decided to take the lightest possible bag: the iPhone, 3 iPro lenses, a tiny tripod, ID, headphones, post it note pad and two pens. Never travelled this light before. 15 mile ride. 7 of them soaking wet. […]

I continue to marvel at the view from my front door; as well as the very human scale architecture of Cedarburg (after the rain).

Remarkable to […]

Last day of “summer vacation”
Yesterday… cycled to the Out ‘n’ Out to meet Tanya and Sophia… Last day of summer vacation for Sophia… After her mac’n’cheese and chocolate malt… Sophia waded in Cedar Creek… below the rapids… attempted to capture micro minnows… swimming upstream… in a tiny school… as I experimented further with the iPhone 6S and the “Slow […]
Friday flowers; and iPhone camera part two
