The 21mm focal length is an odd duck for the Leica M system. 35mm is the widest frameline commonly found on film bodies (though a number of later bodies do have 28mm). On digital, with the exception of the M8, 28mm is the standard wide-angle frameline. When using a 21mm lens, this means one must…

2022 Abortion Protests – Supreme Court, Washington DC
In May, a Supreme Court draft opinion was leaked that seemingly indicated Roe vs. Wade was being overturned. In late June, the Supreme Court released its official Dobbs vs. Jackson opinion, thereby paving the way for states to attempt to limit access to abortion. Such a monumental decision sparked a flurry of protest activity at…

Defeat the Mandate – Washington DC Rally
Let me get this out of the way: posting these photos doesn’t imply a stance for or against COVID measures such as masks and vaccines. This was purely an exercise in photojournalism and capturing historical moments via photography. If you want to hear the same ‘ol rhetoric about COVID, turn on Fox or CNN –…
Street Photos – 2021
Partly due to COVID, being overworked at my day job, and hitting a creativity slump, my cameras collected dust during 2020 and 2021. No wedding gigs. Not a lot of time shooting street photos. Stayed away from the protests in DC. Overall, it was a fairly dry spell. I’m making an effort to change that…
