Its all about the images…

…and not about the words. So here’s a load of photos – a BIG load – with very little wordage. Please be patient for them all to load!

Oh, and if you’re on Facebook, please CLICK HERE and give me the benefit of the pageview. Please? Besides, the images are better on the real webpage, anyway.

All the photos were taken this past summer on my Leica M4-P and MOSTLY with the Cosina Voigtlander 50/1.5 Nokton (a few were shot with a borrowed 35/2 Summicron). And just FYI, they’re all here viewed in their entirety. I didn’t edit them – not even cropped or straightened. The edges are real. I think you’ll really appreciate that when you get to the chrome film lower down. If you’re curious, hover your mouse over the photo to see some info… if you didn’t already know that – since almost all my photos always have that function.

So that’s all I have for now. And I probably need to stop because its gonna make some computers get tired… or the reader get tired. But, there’s more coming. I’ve got a whole bag of film needing to be sent off and its growing by the day. This stuff was pretty old, but I had some time and needed to get it up… so I hope you enjoyed.

Stay tuned,

-Noah D.
