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.

Recognize this moment.
Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summicron f/2, PortraitBy the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on….
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever…
And I will pay no mind
When it won’t, and it won’t, because it can’t
It just can’t
It’s not supposed to

This is the second image posted today that was taken with the Leica 35mm Summarit – a lens that would not typically be considered as an ideal option for low light portraiture, but I find it quite versatile.
