Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You, enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue…

Film vs. digital.
InspirationNo, not a debate.
In my mind, there is no debate – there is no contest in fact.
When I look at my film shots, they are technically inferior to my digital ones. And most people who view my images always compliment the digital ones over the film ones.
Yet, I prefer my film images. When I look back at the moments I’ve captured, it’s the film shots that speak to me.
They somehow contain more truth.

Sgt. Russell’s funeral procession.
Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, LFI Master Shot, Portrait, UniformTaken earlier this year.
Sgt. Ryan Russell was a Toronto police officer who died in the line of duty on January 12, 2011. He left behind his wife and two year old child.
The following week, a funeral procession was held in his honour in downtown Toronto.
Attendees were from all over North America.
Toronto is a large city, that is usually quite busy and noisy. On this day, during the procession, the downtown core was eerily quiet.
The first photo was chosen as a Leica Fotografie International (LFI) Master Shot.
All images taken with the Leica M9 and Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH @ f1/.4.
