Post your favourite 3 pictures from 2025

In January 2025 I bought a used Leica Monochrom Typ 246, the best camera I've ever owned. The first shot was with a Minolta 90mm f4 lens at home. The other two were likely with a Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm f1.4. Looking forward to another year with the Typ 246, but I've just received a Leica IIIf with Canon 50mm f1.4. Those two will keep me more than satisfied for years to come, I've no doubt.

I like pictures of people. But I'm a bit limited in my physical ability to get out and interact with a lot of people so I only have a few photos from this year on the subject. Most of my photos are NOT of people and I have a lot that I really like better. But I'll limit myself to the casual candids. Here's three that I like.

2025 for me was a bit of a refresh year after not participating in photography for 20plus yrs and these 3 are just my quick picks as 2 are of friends and one reminds me of a time....I must add I've thoroughly enjoyed being here over the past 12 months and although we are all individuals it's nice to see and be appreciated for our own style and work.

This year I decided to try to get back to my photojournalism roots, so 25-years after my last assignment volunteered for a staff of a pair of weekly papers. Also, wanted to primarily use my digital rangefinder and manual focus lenses for these commissions in order to really learn my gear.

The first one is shot with Minolta TC1 on expired Velvia slide and cross processed.
The jumping cat is a lucky shot - I used zone focusing Rollei 35 S and very slow film - duplicating negative film ORWO DN21 (@iso12).
Finally a street shot with my trusty Hexar AF on ORWO UN54.
