“ I always thought good photos were like good jokes.
If you have to explain it, it just isn’t that good"
My travel and personal time is being consumed by a Leica M8 currently which was an inspirational moment from a friend of mine.It's manual, its simple and takes me back to quiet times where you have to work everything out and use your feet to zoom.
Don't get me wrong it cannot do the job of my Nikon's at Weddings but it's a nice tool to kick back and see the world again without needing to carry a small factory.

Well around 1000 actuations down and still a few to go. I makes me think of my photojournalist hero and inspiration - Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." –Henri Cartier-Bresson

Here is one of my favourites so far....... very Leica I am told

An Amazing moment that can move you....
This weekend I once again had the pleasure of shooting a beautiful Wedding and whilst I don't always have the time to share as many images as I would like these days, I wanted to drop this one in as I was moved by a very serene moment of peace during the ceremony in the temple. I was shooting B&W to capture the emotion and while many images in Asian Weddings should remain colour, I thought this moment deserved the isolation that is offered by B&W.
