This is a detailed look a great photographer who is making the most of the Leica M system. In this video, Craig speaks about how he got started, how he uses his cameras, about his new book 'UNPOSED' and even gives away a few tips!

Enjoy

He's a great guy and we think alike so I like him even more! No seriously, he's only been shooting for a short time and already has an incredible body of work. I just had to do this video.

I saw his work at the Leica gallery in manhattan. Really fantastic work. Very engaging and humorous.

I gotta get his book....

His work on his website looks kind of interesting but the video showed him taking all these cheap shots. He seems like a really nice guy with great gear =)

Wow--so here I am browsing rangefinder forum and land on a link about...me! A little disconcerting...but in a good way Glad you guys liked the video--Kristian did a great job with it. We only had an hour or so on a Sunday afternoon to shoot it, so the shots we got were limited, but the point was really more instructional than to get great shots. We all know the time, effort, preparedness, and luck involved in getting a great picture, and it's hard to make all those come together in an hour or so while being videotaped

Thanks everyone for your kind comments on the work and thanks Kristian for making it happen! And I'd be happy to answer any questions if I can.

Cheers,

Craig

Inspired me to get outside and shoot this afternoon.

Enough said.

Interesting stuff. I am glad I was able to get back to my Leica gear because with the advent of digital and where I travel, film became a problem. So the M9 has done it for me. I would love to shoot B/W film but I can't stand anyone else developing it, even though there are some good labs.

Enjoyable video, thanks for posting it.
