2015, Favourite, Film, Kodak BW400CN, Leica M3, Portrait, Q&A, Teaching point, Voigtländer 40mm f/1.4 Nokton

People often ask me why I always go back to the Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.4.

This is why.

Evening Repose.

Echo, echo.

As an aside, this represents the 5th “test shot” taken with my new-old M3. As you can tell, most of the test shots were made under awful incandescent lighting (after all, I was only interested in confirming focus accuracy).

Still, there’s something about film and the way it renders even poorly lit scenes.

Imprints.

The frame-by-frame play-by-play of life.

Her imprints left on the table, and in my mind.

And imprints #22 and # 23 on a roll of film — click, click.

And the click of a light switch.

Goodnight.

—Peter.

To the heart of the matter.
