technically perfect

not very flattering to the subject, but very 19th century

nice

Nice portrait. I read your comment about byuing Leica - where can I see your work with this camera, possibly with english version? Lot of your pictures is great IMO. And also can you compare Leica vs. Contax (which Leica camera you have - SLR, Rangefinder...). Thank you. richard.fraj@gordic.cz

Hi, you can see a lot of leica mixed with contax pics in the link Cosmin just pointed. don't ask me to tell you what camera i used for each pics, because i don't remember. Some months before i tried the leica m7. Great camera... but, after that i found something just better to my kind of photography: Leica Minilux. The 40mm f2.4 lens is simply amazing. That's the camera i took to China, together with a Contax g2 and a Pentax 67. I used all three cameras a lot so, except for the 67 and the g2 wide-angle shots, i can't tell what's the better camera, because both seem similar in results. in prints, Leica = Contax.

A very 'antique' look to this image! Very striking!

There is so much talent on this site it would be difficult not to learn something about photography. This is a really great portrait and I am learning something all the time.
