Writing holiday
Clearwater, Florida, United States. February 2026.
No, I don't live in hotels all the time. Some months of the year, I am home in Florida to write, reflect, read, edit, print and drink turkish coffee.

Testing lenses
Clearwater FL, United States. February 2026.
Playing around with 90mm Tele-Elmarit-M f/2.8 II (1974) and 90mm Elmarit-M f/2.8 (1990), and 90mm APO-Summicron-M ASPH f/2.0 (1998) because I found some older pictures made with some of them, which I found had some nice qualities. More on that, later.

"Just bought a Leica Q2 in mint condition and used it for the first time on Saturday!
As ever, your reviews are so helpful when making these decisions, and I always learn a lot! Your photographs are always a joy to view and try and learn from!"
