Street Photography & Creative Insights
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by. I’m Adam.
I am an avid street photographer. I’m fascinated by how people interact with the urban environment and the stories that come out of urban landscape photography.
When it comes to reviews, I only review gear I have personally bought, and share how I use it to be creative in the urban landscape.

On a recent trip to Port Noarlunga, I came across a piece of public art that stopped me in my tracks—not because of its scale, but because of its meaning. Known locally as “The Goggles”, this striking sculpture—formally titled The Blue Groper—is the work of artists Anna Small and Warren...
Let’s stop pretending this is just another update. WordPress 7.0 lands on April 9, 2026, and for the first time in years, this actually feels like a version jump that matters. Not because of a shiny feature. Because of what’s at stake. Over 40% of the internet runs on WordPress....
Leica Rangefinder Fan
I’m an avid fan of Leica gear and after using loads of compacts and DSLRs from Canon, Nikon and others, I have settled on the Leica M system.
What I love about it is the timelessness of the lenses, and that I am able to shoot with a system similar to that which was used decades ago. Leica Ms rely 100% on the skills of the photographer…
…the result is always 100% your own work, not the work of computers in the camera.
Film vs Digital – A Leica User’s Thoughts
Camera Film Reviews
Kodak Kodacolor 100 is a modern revival of one of photography’s most iconic names, delivering a beautifully balanced colour negative film that combines natural, slightly muted tones with excellent fine detail and impressive flexibility in both highlights and shadows. Shot on a Leica MP with a 50mm Summilux across bright...
If you’ve ever been curious about Ilford’s take on colour film, Ilford Ilfocolor 400 might just surprise you. In this in-depth review, I put this retro-styled 35mm film to the test with my Leica MP and 50mm Summilux, exploring how it performs across city streets and low-light market scenes in...
This is not the Ilford, ahem, Harman colour film I’m looking for. I’ve been trying out Harman’s Phoenix 200 film and it’s not what I was hoping for. It doesn’t seem to have a unique quality, rather it seems to be trying too hard to have too many of them...
A slight shock to the system recently about one of my favourite colour films. If anyone can shed further light on this it would be appreciated, please comment below. Who is now making Fuji C200 Film? This week I bought some new Fuji 200. By chance I happened to have...
Leica Insights
Leica Camera AG has expanded its legendary M-Lens lineup with four highly anticipated product variants, introducing three lenses in the iconic Leica Safari design and a new glossy black edition of the Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 from the Classic line. The announcement continues Leica’s long tradition of combining technical excellence with...
At least once a year, it happens: a new Leica price rise. Cue the forums erupting, YouTube thumbnails screaming “Is Leica OUT OF CONTROL?”, and collectors debating whether this is the last reasonable moment to buy an M body. But there’s a bigger story behind the numbers—and understanding it explains...
When most photographers think of the Leica M6, they imagine the iconic fully mechanical rangefinder with a simple light meter and a pure, battery-independent shutter. But few know the story of the prototype that almost changed everything: an electronic-shutter Leica M6 that eventually evolved into the Leica M7. This little-known...
Few cameras in history inspire the kind of loyalty, nostalgia and respect that the Leica M6 does. Often called the best 35mm film camera ever made, the Leica M6 earned its reputation not in marketing brochures, but on the frontlines of photojournalism — war zones, protests, foreign bureaus and magazine...
Lens Reviews
In the annals of photographic history, few brands can rival the legacy that Leica has crafted. Their latest marvel, the 28mm Summicron-M lens, stands as a testament to this storied heritage and promises to reshape the benchmarks of optical precision. Diving Deep into the 28mm Summicron-M The 28mm focal length...
When getting into Leica, something you notice early on is the different lens names. Leica’s Lens names refer to the lens’ speed, or F Stop. Currently they are Summaron, Super Elmar, Elmarit, Summicron, Summilux and Noctilux. The order I’ve put them in is slowest to fastest, but don’t be fooled,...
When the world thinks of luxury in photography, the name “Leica” frequently surfaces at the forefront. Their decades-long legacy of crafting precision-engineered, high-performance lenses and cameras is virtually unmatched. Enter the newest titan to grace their lineup – the Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. “Titan” limited edition lens. A Shimmering New...
Wonderful summer days make for wonderful street photography. I enjoy capturing happy moments and everything seems fun, carefree and joyful in the summer. I’m at home with my Leica 28mm Summilux on the M11. The 28mm focal length was always an odd focal length for Leica, they stayed focussed on...
My Favourite Type of Photography
Street photography. Especially at night.
One of the things I love to do is walk around after sunset and photograph all the lights, shadows and look for whatever we don’t normally notice about what is happening after dark in public areas.

I’ve eaten at a lot of places around Adelaide. Some are good, some are memorable, but every now and then you walk into somewhere that just feels great from the start. That was my experience at Vasili’s Table. If you’re looking for a Greek restaurant that delivers on every level…
There’s been a lot of discussion recently about a message from SportsPower Kadina to the Yorke Peninsula community—and I’m firmly in their corner. Because this isn’t just about one store.
