Madi for Jute Magazine Hudson Valley Photographer

These shots are from an old editorial of mine.  I actually shot these on my Leica M7.  I honestly haven’t done that much work with my leica, as it’s mostly for me to have fun with when I’m travelling.  That camera is rock solid, so it’s a great travel camera.  I never have to worry about people bumping into it, and who would want to steal a film camera these days.  If they only knew it was worth much more than most of my DSLR setups.  This was all shot with a 50mm summilux.  I absolutely adore that lens.  Of course it’s not as crisp or contrasty as my nikon lenses, but after a bit of post work I can get it exactly where I want it.
