Swedish Meatballs!

I saw this pile of snow at the local Ikea when I was shopping a few weeks back. Something odd struck me about its size in relation to the building, the size of the Ikea sign and I felt it had a surreal quality to it. Luckily, I had my trusty camera with me! Shot wide-open, handheld from my car as I was parked. A car streaking past filled-out the composition for me. No doubt, the driver was hurrying to get some of those Swedish meatballs they have on sale!

Stormy weather brings abstract image opportunities! I love shooting these patterns in the fresh snow. Shot last week after the storm on a Leica M8 I am trying-out with a Leica 28mm f2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH. I really think that having a small camera at all times will dramatically broaden your image-taking opportunities. Take your camera out with you everywhere for two weeks and see what you get, you will be amazed!

An old, country bridge in a bad state of decay as seen from standing on the frozen river and looking up. Shot on a Leica M8 with a 15mm super-wide lens, processed in Aperture and Silver Effex Pro from Nik Software. Want to learn how to do more with your images? Want to grow as a photographer?

Driving along a nearby country-road last Sunday before the epic Canada - USA Gold Medal hockey final, (wouldn’t miss that!!)... I saw these shadows at the roadside and had to jump out of the car to get some! Shot on a Leica M9 with a Leica 28mm f2.8 Elmarit-ASPH lens. Gotta say, that M9 makes some of the sweetest, most detailed images I have ever made on any camera!
Snow Coral?

MAN has it been a while since I added to the blog! No excuses, lost my blog Mojo I guess for a while! Since starting in February we finally got some now, I thought that I would post an image I call snow-coral. Shot on a Leica M8 with a Leica Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH, this pattern is simply holes in the snow at my feet after water dripped off the eves-trough above. Hope you like it.
