Homeless: The Michigan economy continues to lavish. Out of work auto workers still looking for a job. Here is a machinist that lost his job 4 years ago, still looking for work. Hanging out on the streets of Traverse City.

A typical shot from the streets of Paris. Colorful and reflects the never ending possibility of some showers. This shot was taken near the Cathedral Of Notre Dame. The umbrellas belonged to one of the local artists selling their wares along the Seine. For some reason, for me, it captures Paris.

I thought this might be a slow day, but alas, not so. I came away with a couple good photos. Remember there is always someone on the street that wants to be photographed.

4th Avenue Tucson, Az. Finally Found The Project

Went out for the first time with the Sony RX1. Great little camera but did not give it much of a workout. I’ve spent a lot of time on 4th Ave looking for a project. And then it dawned on me today that 4th Ave IS the project. How did I miss this. I need to get back there and start photographing the street life, not just the characters that I have run into every day. The characters are a whole other topic!!

Looking for the street shot with the street people. Shooting with a Leica M9 and 50MM lens. Normally use a wide angle 35MM. There is a difference. I do like the 35MM and it’s depth of field. I had to compose more carefully with the 50MM.

Shot with Sony Nex 6 all day long. The camera performed well and the dynamic range seems pretty good. Stayed away from the obvious street vendors and looked for original people,,and they were there!

Brought out the Sony Nex 6 to do a few shots. Worked on street candids and “pedal power”. The day was moderately successful with one or two keepers. Hot day generally uneventful.

Finally started the Arizona mining town project. Using the Leica M9 and the Zeiss Ikon, began to photograph some really run down structures in these two towns.
I have been thinking about this project for many years and have finally gotten started. Many of these towns are heavily dilapidated. I need to go for the grainy, old look. With many mining towns in AZ in would imagine this project will take several years. First I need to understand  the character of he town then adequately photographing it.
Used Delta 3200 @ ISO 1600 to get that old look in the photos.
