Leica M Monochrom: best pics

Allen, cap guy tying his laces on a big bollard while cap lady strides past an equally spherical porthole—priceless urban American irony. Like attaching empty thought balloons to silent characters in a comic. Although one could make a case for ‘guys are like cannon balls, gals are like tidy concrete cutouts’ whatever that means ;-). In any case, your sense of juxtapositions play between forms and figures always creates a delightful theater.

Thank you Robert!!!

Wonderful work Robert. I am really smitten with my new M 10 Mono. You seem to be getting on quite nicely with yours.

Yes, Allen, and while it was new to me I got to work with it on this project. It wasn’t the only camera I used—the GR was handy for remaining respectfully inconspicuous, and the RX1 when AF was critical—but in the proposal I wrote for funding the project the main premise was that most if not all of the 365+images would be monochrome. To put it another way, the M10M was the bandleader and main soloist in the ensemble.

Allen, as I watched the renovation progress from my 5th floor office, I wondered what they had planned for that wall.

Then the pandemic and retirement. I was there recently and saw it. Pretty cool, I think.

Hey John,

Congrats on retirement. Beautiful family. Do you still get in the city often?

I started to come in more, but now with the variant situation I'm laying low again.
