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.

When your mother died.
Film, Inspiration, Leica M2, Portrait, Voigtländer 40mm f/1.4 NoktonWhen your mother died… it was four years ago today.
When your mother died… you were only two years old.
Do you remember her?
I have a photo of you hugging her – the one in the kitchen – during that final summer together. In it, you are overcome with joy, and she – she is forever embracing you.
