Snapped some years ago on Lomography 100 Colour Film. I just happened to be walking past and was at the end of the roll. It is technically one the things I really like about shooting on a rangefinder. You can see what is inside and outside your frame and can...

Saw this while out and about with my new 28mm Leica Sumamron and shooting with Kodak Ultramax 400iso. I always look for 1990s and 1980 retro style installations and architecture and couldn’t go past this without snapping a shot. Thing is though back in the day these would have been...

I’m a Leica Street photographer, traveller, avid reviewer, marketer and blogger. I am, by my own admission, a gear nut but I don’t buy gear just to test it or pixel peep. I’m only interested in the art that can be produced with the gear. And seeing what emotions can be brought out in those who see my photos.
