It’s been so long since I last posted anything, I sort of forgot how to do it. Let’s just say I was all thumbs trying to publish this update. Sadly, I haven’t picked up my camera either for more than 19 months. I'm hoping when I start to make photos again everything will fall into place as it relates to matters of timing, and technique. There’s also the implied assumption that I’ll feel comfortable standing close to people again.
This post is my way of saying thanks for checking in, and that I'm still around and still COVID-free. Like so many, I was hopeful we had turned a corner on the pandemic earlier this summer both in the US and Europe. I even booked a trip to France for September that is no longer happening because of the rise in COVID cases both here and there. This is the second time I've had to cancel a trip to France since the pandemic surfaced, and it isn’t getting any easier.
Yes, I'm vaccinated, but given the higher risks of mingling among all the others who aren’t, I’m not interested in writing about what it feels like to have a breakout case or how my life has changed as a long hauler. So for now, my travel plans are back on hold.
The cover photo was taken while I was testing out a Leica Q a few years ago. As I mentioned in my last post, a few months later, I sold all of my camera equipment, and bought a new Q.
I’m still thinking about upgrading to the Q2M, it’s just that I've had a few distractions in my life since my last post. Now that things have settled down, and travel is back on hold, I have some more time to tease out my buying impulse.
