The Crosswalk

While wandering in New York with my Leica, before I could even ask for his permission, this guy started talking about my camera. He had owned numerous Leicas in his lifetime, and knows how incredible they are. I loved the way the crosswalk reflected off his glasses. Shot with Leica M2.

Real Street

As I was about to enter my favorite camera store in New York City, for some reason I glanced back. This man was standing there on the street, offering to take people's photographs. I loved his old camera and the sweet way he spoke to me. While street photography has re-emerged as a popular genre recently, he has been doing "real" street photography for decades. Shot with Leica M2.

Millennial Meeting

I am not a fan of how 21st century technology has led so many people away from real human contact. While wandering the streets of Washington, DC I saw these three men sitting there on their smart phones and it so perfectly reflected much of our culture today. Shot with Leica M2.
