2013

Boy (now vs. then).

2013, 2021, Beyond 200 feet of My House™, Favourite, Film, Inspiration, Kodak Portra 400, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, Leica M3, Leica M9(P)/M-E (CCD Lives!), Life's Little Moments, Portrait, Scanner - Plustek 8200i, Voigtländer 50mm f/1.5 Nokton Aspherical II MC

Included in the last set of photos I posted, is this shot of our son:

…which reminded me of a similar one taken eight years ago:

In this older photo,

… it’s a few seconds before the sunset vs. a few minutes

… the camera differs (M9 vs. M3)

… the lens differs (Leica 50/1.4 vs. Voigtländer 50/1.5)

And the 4000 km distance separating the moments seems tiny in comparison to the chasm of time.

Little murmurings, and stories.  Fragments.  The voices ebb and flow in the coziness of a darkened living room.

From outside, faint light enters and simultaneously recedes.

Inside, souls commingle.

Interweave.

Rangefinder

Life is too short, to have never experienced a rangefinder camera.

If you’re a photography enthusiast, and you’ve never had the pleasure, do yourself a favour and shoot with a rangefinder (Leica, Zeiss, Mamiya, Voigtländer, Contax, Nikon, Epson, Fuji, Yashica, or whatever).

It will change you.
