Field of dreams.
2012, Favourite, Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, Leica M9(P)/M-E (CCD Lives!), Portrait, Teaching point, The Beautiful GameI resisted the temptation to crop away the top and bottom portions and present this as a pseudo-panoramic horizontal strip… something about the original image (as presented here) appears very surreal, very much like a “dream”. Or perhaps a diorama.

Worker, 1937.
2012, Favourite, Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, Portrait, Teaching pointActually, this was captured this week… but something about him made me think of a bygone era.
I also could have called this Worker 11, as it follows my previous 10 Worker images.
In the past, I’ve sort of criticized the 50mm Summilux ASPH as being “too perfect” of a lens, but I love how it has rendered him, and this moment.
