i'm sure this hulking mass of cowboy would have kicked my blue-state ass back to los angele international if he knew i was making a sneaky photo.

i'm sure.

guys who dress up like this, though, it makes me wonder if i've actually ridden a horse more than they.

dunno.

maybe.

maybe not.

whilst sitting on my happy ass for about an hour -- before the bastarrds that are america west informed me that my flight was cancelled -- i played hold 'em.

even got a full house.

i think the full house is my favourite hand.

truth-be-told one probably doesn't need a leica to shoot a sleeping subject ...

but .. to handhold a camera to make a photo at a quarter second ... having no mirrorslap ... really helps...

glad he didn't wake up and kick my ass.

'cause when he got up and walked around he must have been like 6'4"...

leica mp. 35/1.4 summilux. 1/4 at f/5.6 and a half. iford delta 400 (+1 to 800).

Ah, Vegas airport.
The exposure in this is perfect.
I really want a fully manual camera but I'm not sure how easy it would be to work my way around it.
I'm looking at an R3a and a nokton 40/1.4 at the moment...

thank you.

you totally should get a manual camera...

the r3a is amazing and so is your lens choice!

If I were looking to spend that sort of money on a rangefinder, would there be any other camera/lens combinations you would recommend higher?
I like low light photography, and I like bokeh.

i also like the zeiss zm and their 35/2.0. worked well for me.

for low-light, though, i strongly suggest a one-four lens like the voigtlander nokton! pretty damn good.
