Since I'm a photographer I always carry a camera...always. You just never know when that next great shot is going to fall in your lap so I like to be ready. Lately I've been carrying two point and shoot cameras as I have gotten tired of dragging my big DSLR around and besides, 99% of what I shoot anymore is for the web so why not make things a bit easier for myself? So, my new photography "quiver" has been carefully narrowed down to two cameras. My Leica Digilux 5 and my Pentax Optio 90 and one of them is with me every single place I go!
My wife bought me the Leica for Christmas and I honestly don't think I have left the house without it since I got it! I love this thing! The color is amazing and the images are just...well stunning. It is small and very lightweight and with the little accessory handgrip it's a dream to work with. I also have the electronic viewfinder on it which I think is kinda spiffy. Looks neat if nothing else. For all my "off shore" photography I use the Pentax as it is waterproof so I can do those crazy rolling videos I'm know for. But I just wanted to share some of what I've been pointing them at lately. I know, I know, not my usual gritty b&w street photography but for now it all suits me just fine. Enjoy!

Sunset from Dockweiler State Beach, California. I love the Coast Guard. Every time they fly over me when I'm kayaking I do a roll in their honor. I just think that they must have the coolest job in the world! |
