Call it regressing, if you want.

As we enter the spring of 2007, I find myself photographing
through those ancient light catchers otherwise known as "rangefinders".
In this age of digital, auto-focus, auto exposure, burst modes, etc., why would
anybody in their right mind return to a manual-everything film camera?

So here I am, using a camera that's akin to what my grandfather might have used.
Much of what I will share in this gallery will be as what's known as "street photography",
but some days I will venture out beyond that. What I feel I am in search for in this latest
quest, is what is often referred to as "lyrical documentary".

The Leica, the archetype for modern 35mm equipment,
that mystical saber of yesteryear, has been let loose,
and the neighborhood will never be the same.
