I'm a kid photojournalist living in Montreal. My love affair with glass, brass and film began when I inherited a Leica III from my grandfather. The thing never left my hands! Soon after I was going to the library and spending hours with Robert Frank, Mary Ellen Mark, Eugene Richards and Elliot Erwitt (to name a few favorites). Two years ago I decided to try and make photography my profession. Now I string for a weekly paper and shoot stills for the NFB. Humble beginnings, but I love it and it beats working in a record store... Anyways, I picked up a cheap scanner and am now able to contribute some images. There's not much up yet, but take a look: www.leica-gallery.net/getcloser/index.html One of the galleries is temporary, for Sonny's glamour contest. The other is a chunk of an ongoing photo essay. More to come, when I have a minute or twenty. The LUG can be a great venue for sharing ideas - all comments & criticisms are welcome. FWIW, I shoot almost everything with a beater M4-P and a 28/2.8 or a 35 'cron. Sometimes I also use a hefty SL2 with a 50 or a 90. I often dream of getting new lenses, but it's amazing how much can be done with 1 prime if that's all you've got on you. Tri-X and Rodinal 1:25 used to be my preference. Now I like HP5+ in XTOL 1:2.
