mm, bit flat for me, tone wise.... Subjects might look better lighter... (??)
Nice focus job, 'b''s eyes.

Photos happen in your brain. You're just lucky you have a camera.

Sweet one...Just love dogs.....

"O segredo para viver em paz com todos consiste na arte de compreender cada um segundo a sua individualidade"

now that you've gone digital, what are your feelings on the whole film vs. digital in your personal life, or in other words, how often will you be taking out m8 for a stroll, and how often mp loaded with ilford?

i love your f/1.0 noctilux stuff, that stop makes the whole world stop and focuses you right on the subject. nothing else exists in that moment.

do you find it a pain to precisely focus nocti?
i know my FD 55/1.2 is impossible in low light.

funny dog, and actually not all that small, seen smaller chi-likes, that seem even too fragile to touch. but yours is substantial enough to hug and play with.

i was always wondering how weird certain old lenses behave on digital. like certain old russian m42 lenses than totally shine on film, especially bw, just so totally suck on digital. i guess nocti doesn't...

again, trying to 'view' not 'review', as you put it, the nocti, with it's ultrashallow dof, somehow opens up the alice's rabbithole out of thin air (i guess my english is not good enough). it separates the in-focus subjects from the world like some wizard surgeon...

plus, now that i scrolled up to see that photo again, and i don't give a fuck if anyone writes about it in any photography book, the portaits of people with their eyes closed, are just so... special. (can't find better words now - the caffeine still hasn't hit my brain since the coffee hit the bottom of my stomach three minutes ago).

some small kids sometimes when they play hide and seek, think that they close their eyes and they're invisible. indeed, you don't know where b was in her mind at that very moment. maybe seeing inside c's heart, or seeing with her eyes. or bathing her soul in the warmth of the moment and the promise of peace and love (i'm so darn poetic in the morning).

thanks for sharing that one, Chris.

adorable.. quite the duo..

its good to hear the 'quartet' is doing swimigly..

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)

This M8 is definitely blazing the crops... But the most touching thing is certainly the subject and the tention between the two gazes...

so pure!

Yaad karte hai tumhe tanhai mein...
dil dooba hai gamo ki gehrai mein...
hume mat dhoondna duniya ki bhid mein...
hum millenge tumhe tumhari parchaai mein.....
