I've been shooting with a rangefinder exclusively since 2003, though I
have used SLRs for work at times during this period (almost all stuff
for the Navy.)
So, last year I sold off my M9 and most of the Leica gear then went all
film for a few months during the summer. Camping, hiking and exploring
the very high country in the Rockies with a couple film rangefinders
and a few bricks of Plus-X was great. When I got back from that trip, I
got a DSLR and it's been like learning how to shoot all over again. 

Here are a few from my new 2013 page:

Thank you all for your encouragement during the last very difficult
year! It's getting better.
