    During the week of December 6-11, Leica brought its famed Leica Akademie workshop series to Miami Beach. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the two workshops held (David went to the other) at The Hotel of South Beach. The workshop was oriented around using the M9 in the target-rich environment ...

Year-round beautiful weather and salt-free roads bring together car enthusiasts from all parts of the country. ...

    Last week I was in Pittsburgh, PA for the LHSA Annual Meeting. We had the unique opportunity to shoot pictures inside Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Fallingwater at Bear Run, which is about an hour and a half drive from Pittsburgh. Built for the Kaufmann family in 1936, Fallingwater is an architectural masterpiece, a blend of modernism and synergy with nature.

    At long last, we have finally received a Leica S-Camera Microprism Focusing Screen to evaluate, and it did not disappoint.



    All Leica S2 bodies have come from the factory with the Universal Focusing Screen. While ideal for general use, the standard focusing screen sometimes left users who prefer manual focus wanting more. Leica later released the S-Camera Screen with Grid, which aided those with compositional perfection in mind. Soon, Leica will start shipping the last piece of the puzzle, the Leica S-Camera Microprism Focusing Screen.

    As of the summer of 2011, there isn't a Leica S mount telephoto lens longer than the Leica APO-Elmar-S 180mm f/3.5. Through the use of lens adapters, the gaps in the Leica lens lineup can be filled. In this case, I was able to test the venerable Hasselblad 350mm F/5.6 Superachromat on the Leica S2 ...

    Over Memorial Day Weekend, we took a mini family vacation to Clearwater Beach, on the west coast of Florida. Many people take pictures when they travel. For me, I travel to take pictures...usually. This trip was a little different. Our plan was to just relax on the beach and sit by the pool. No hustle and bustle. No having to even think about going anywhere.Truthfully, the change was a welcome one and we all had a very relaxing time.

    Two weeks ago I attended the 2010 LHSA Spring Shoot in lovely Savannah, GA. I've gone to almost every meeting since going to my first one four years ago. The LHSA (Leica Historical Society of America) has about 1200 members worldwide and is focused on everything Leica. If you love Leica, the LHSA is the closest you will come to a full-fledged international Leica club. I highly recommend joining and if you do, definitely come to the meetings. Besides great programming and good company, you will also get some great pictures.
