Such a lovely moment. Beautiful child, happy and full of energy.

That 100 lens really shines with environmental portraits!

The Old Man and the Sea.... That is the first image of a future diptych some 50 years in the future. I can only imagine a second photo.

We made a triptych of our marriage from 1971 to 2021... different cameras, a large format for our wedding, and a Nikon F6 for the other two images. Perfect match in black and white.

It told our story, with only our hands as the motif in each one.

Thanks for sharing your personal joys with us.

Love the idea, Dave, and thank you as always for your positive encouragement. Rob

Rob, you inspired me to go back to my roots... cars and abstracts. I have been researching hood ornaments lately and thought I would try a few today.

Here is one:

Leica S 006
Vario 30-90mm

Well, Dave, as long as you don't tell anyone . . . these were not taken with a Leica, nor taken with a medium format camera. :}View attachment 187157

That was easy, Rob. It was taken by an SL, type 560.

 

[dave.gt]

Yes, I have posted a series of our hood ornament in the past, but I think one more to inspire and reassure me that Autumn is fast approaching is a good thing.

I will be looking for more hood ornaments!

Isolation and voluntary lockdowns in this horrible pandemic have long lasting consequences. The world has changed.

Normally, in September, we would be preparing for tours in the mountains of Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. Our motorcycle tours all the way up to Pennsylvania in years past are but a fond memory. Now, we travel only by car but overnight stays are impossible due to Covid.

So, I daydream and wonder how much we can accomplish on long daytrips.

Will we even see color like we last enjoyed in 2019?


Or will we arrive too late?


Or, will we make it to the Great Smoky Mountains at all?

Uncertain times.

But, the Leica S006 will be my constant companion. We shall see what lies ahead.

Wow, you weren't kidding, it looks like a new car complete with coco mats! The colors are perfectly coordinated and the car is amazing.

Although I have driven many before, I wish I had gotten an SL years ago but circumstances got in the way. Like so many other things, I still wish I had gotten one!

Thanks for sharing, it put a smile on my face this morning!

... if someone wants to see my "Smart", they don't have to ask me for long -.
the Smart is also from Mercedes and has an "S" in its name!*

Oh, what a really nice portrait. Love the glow! I am so glad you shared this one with us.

Well done, my friend!!!!

September is always full of surprises for me.

September surprises are always welcomed and quite frequent. Nothing in the garden beats watching blooms unfurl and present a different face every hour.

They really do move relatively quickly, opening, and changing almost imperceptibly but steadily.
