Three Graces

Taken downtown last week with Olympus Stylus Epic camera on Tri-X film

Friday's Night Catch

Leica M2 has become my #1 camera for night work. Tried: Leica IIIf, Nikon F5, Nikon S, Contax IIa...you name it. M2 is a clear winner. The lenses are 35mm and 28mm (this is 28mm).

M in Little Havana

this had been taken at Calle Ocho last Wednesday; I saw the visual rhyme (actually more than one; 4 elements echo each other); pointed and clicked my Olympus P&S...

Walking Downtown

This shot and few below were taken in late September/early October with Olympus P&S camera on Tri-X film

At Bayfront park in September

that was the rainiest September I remeber...

Night at Ocean with TMAX P3200

Leica M2/28mm/Kodak Tmax P3200 @ E.I.12500 in Tmax developer

Kodak discontinues TMax P3200 TMZ film :(

British Journal Of Photography

Sad news. The film is the one I use every week, my nocturnal companion...oh well

Wednesday in Little Havana

This had been taken with Kiev 4AM + 35mm Jupiter f/2.8 lens -- one of the few the soviet era setups I have. Came to like this cruel piece of machinery after some trial and error.

Ocean drive's nights in September

The film has its limits; when the light is as weak as it usually is at the Ocean at night its failing to record anything at all, even at the sensitivity as high as 12500.
Still, people at night are open as never during the day and I just keep shooting, hoping for the sudden glimpse on the subject, just like in the picture above and below...
