‘My ongoing project, When Morning Comes, explores daily life in the Mississippi Delta. In the summer of 2009 I began traveling the village streets and farm roads of the Delta on my bicycle. I needed to breathe after troubled times and the people that I met, the very landscape itself, became midwives, mythmakers, and prophets. I found strength and humility there that summer.
I received this tip several weeks ago, but did not publish it online because I really couldn’t believe it until today when Leica sent out invitations for their next announcement. The new Leica M camera is rumored to have a black and white only sensor and

In the tightly-controlled conditions of architectural and landscape photography, the performance of this lens stunned me. I’m in utter disbelief at the level of microscopic detail made visible by the combination of the Leica M9 and the 21mm Super-Elmar-M. If sharpness is your bag, then the 21mm Super-Elmar-M is your lens.
My Leica M9P* (gaffer tape upgrade) and 35mm Summilux 1.4. Background About a few months ago, I finally achieved one of my lifetime goals: purchasing a digital Leica (the Leica M9 to be specific).…
For this review I am going to give you my honest review of the camera, not focusing much on the technical aspects (other sites have already done this to death) but how it actually performs when it comes to shooting street photography. Considering that I have only been shooting with the camera around 3 months—I am not an expert with the Leica M9. However having shot with it enough when it comes to street photography, I am very confortable discussing how it performs when shooting on the streets.
I already mentioned that back in August: Leica Camera will increase their prices on M lenses in the US starting January 1st, 2012. For example, the 50mm f/1.4 Summilux will go up from $3695.00 to $3995.00, the 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux will go from $10495.00 t

The only annoying thing that I found with the camera was the strap. And it wasn’t even the strap’s fault. Often, when I was in the car and I grabbed the camera, just as I was about to get it to my eye, the shoulder strap would snag between my seat and the belt clasp forcing me to work it free, often missing my shot. Either Toyota or Leica need to work this out.

Worn out Leica cameras are a rare sight, but Paal Audestad managed to do the impossible. Paal started taking pictures when he was 14 years old. Leica was always his dream and he happened to buy a 1967 M4 in a second hand store in Oslo back in 1987. After many years by his side traveling to numerous festivals, concerts, discovering urban sites and visiting places all over the world (almost being lost twice), the M4 simply wore out
