Female perspective on the Leica M9

[vindstille]

a humorous blog post by a norwegian photographer that got to borrow an M9 from the norwegian distributor a little while ago:

Very funny, I really liked it, thanks for posting 🙂

Nice article. I'll have to follow her blog; she's funny.

 

[Archiver]

Yeah, that is funny. Attractive woman, too. Good to see some fun, quirky shots of a woman with a Leica.

Very cute!

Anyone else think she bears an uncanny resemblance to a young Kathleen Turner circa "Romancing the Stone"?

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

"Kurt"? .

Tasteful reference to his lens. That could have gone a very different direction.

 

[Paul Luscher]

Hmmm...so what should I call my M9? Usually I refer to it as "The Beast."

 

[Paul Luscher]

Well, since I'm a guy, I really wouldn't want to call it "Kurt." The Beast it is (but a very friendly one).

Hopefully not Fritz, which is what I named my old Mercedes, for reasons you might guess.

 

[erik]

Are you referring to the final image shown in the blog? 😱

Ah, no... but that too could've gone too far!

My Leica M3 is called "ziggy". Sigmund.
He is male. My companion. 1967 onwards..
The M2 is female. "zaggarina" Zig and Zag..

I was hoping to see pictures with the camera =/ you know, pictures made with a female perspective of the world in front of the lens.

Anyone else think she bears an uncanny resemblance to a young Kathleen Turner circa "Romancing the Stone"?

Yes. For those who remember her well.

Amusing.
I call my Leica M9 "The M9" .. Not stunningly original, I guess. I have too many cameras to spend time naming them.

(My car is either "The SLK" or "Die Gelbe Gefahr" depending on my mood.)

Well, this is much more entertaining than some "stupid" MTF charts, discussion about sensor signal to noise ratio, or whatever other technical feature that won't really help you take better pictures...

Her description of his character early in their relationship and her winning through to a recognition of his simplicity was touching and true. Given his lens was only 50mm I thought she dealt with that very gallantly.

I'm suffering from Kurt envy ...
