    Leica M-E?

    I'm kicking around the idea of dumping all my Canon gear and buying a Leica M-E with a 35 and a 50. I'm getting tired of lugging a backpack full of gear and using a DSLR. I want to go smaller, travel lighter, be less obtrusive and make less noise. Has anyone played with or own one? Thoughts?

    FS: Canon 500mm f/4 L IS + extras

    I would like to sell my Canon 500mm f/4 L IS with some extra goodies. I've owned this lens since purchasing it new. It had a lot of use the first few years that I owned it which was when I did some freelance magazine work. For the past 4 years or so, it has sat in the box coming out occasionally...

    Pinyon Mountain

    Beep beep. Beep beep. Beep beep. I open my eyes. It's still dark out. There is a small foot in my face and what feels like fingers in my ear. Piper. Wonder what time she crawled into bed? As quietly and gently as possible, I get her repositioned on my pillow and make my way out of bed. In...

    back to film

    When I was a working photographer, I never completely left film in favor of digital. Both had their merits and still do today. Over the past 6 months, I've been leaning more and more towards my film cameras and have been considering a few items to add to my quiver of cameras. I've had a sudden...

    Out with the old links...

    and in with the new. Finally got around to getting these installed yesterday. Mark over at Red Eye made up a set for me for the rear sway bar. They should be arriving in the next couple of days. Looking forward to getting those on as it just bothers me seeing the stock ones against the...

    Last Child in the Woods

    Has anyone read Last Child in the Woods? What are your thoughts? I just started reading it yesterday and lots of passages are resonating with me. Maybe it's our current position in life. Maybe it's because my oldest daughter is 8 and she's never seen snow. Maybe it's the megalopolis of Southern...

    USB ports?

    I had been planning to install some of the USB boards from One Half Watt but they've apparently gone out of business within the last week or so. I've been digging around for something similar but google is failing me at the moment. I'd prefer not to have a box that plugs into a lighter and I...

    mmmm... beefy

    Just received a set of replacement front sway bar links for my FJ. I'll probably do the install tomorrow or Friday. These things are solid.

    Anza Borrego

    I made this day trip about a week ago with a few folks from OAUSA. I hadn't thought about posting over here but here goes. It's 5am and the alarm is buzzing. One of the girls is snoring, the other two are talking in their sleep. The apartment is hot, like it never really cooled off over night...
